Trump Says Iran Deal Possible, Calls Oil Drop Historic

US President Donald Trump said Iran wants to reach an agreement with the United States and that a deal is possible. Speaking at the opening of the renovated reflecting pool at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, Trump addressed foreign policy and economic issues.

Trump stated that the United States successfully concluded a military operation in Venezuela within one day. He also claimed that daily oil shipments from Venezuela to the United States were worth tens of billions of dollars.

“This is the biggest oil drop in history. Oil has never fallen this much in a single day before.”

The president said he is not rushing to decide whether to restart a war with Iran. He told Axios that Iran has been financially pressured and that its people are tired of the situation.

Trump said the United States is talking with Tehran and that everything is going well. He added that Iran constantly tries to deceive Washington but is very eager to reach a deal.

Qatari mediators traveled to Tehran to discuss a possible US-Iran agreement. A version of the draft agreement, negotiated for eight days, was also reviewed.

Trump described the recent oil price decline as the largest daily drop in history. He said oil fell by 10 dollars in a single day and predicted that energy costs would fall much further in the coming period.
