U.S. President Donald Trump has told his negotiators to slow down talks with Iran, raising doubts about a deal that had been presented as a major breakthrough. The move comes as Republican lawmakers are already speaking out against the agreement, with some calling it a “disastrous mistake” that would encourage Iran’s nuclear ambitions.
On Truth Social, Trump said that “both sides must take their time” to reach a deal, adding that talks were “constructive” and that “time is on our side.” This is a sharp change from his earlier claim that a deal was “largely negotiated” and nearly ready to be finalized.
