President Donald Trump has indicated that an agreement between the United States and Iran may be finalized over the weekend, with a potential signing ceremony to take place in Europe. Trump informed reporters that he has engaged in discussions regarding the matter with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and intends to confer with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
According to Trump, the signing of such an accord would likely occur in Europe, with Vice President J.D. Vance potentially in attendance.
