TRUMP SAYS DEAL WITH IRAN 'LARGELY NEGOTIATED' AS HE REVIEWS TEHRAN'S LATEST PROPOSAL AT WHITE HOUSE

 

US President Donald Trump says an agreement with Iran has been largely negotiated, after spending Saturday at the White House in calls with leaders from across the Middle East and with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The announcement, posted on the president's Truth Social account, comes as Washington reviews Iran's latest proposal to end the war — though President Trump has told the website Axios the chances of a final deal stand at fifty-fifty.
