The Senate turned back a similar measure Wednesday seeking to rein in the president as the unpopular war approaches the two-month mark.
The Trump administration feels “good about prospects of a deal” with Iran, the White House said Wednesday, while noting that Pakistan would be the likely location of a potential second round of talks.
Spanish Economy Minister Carlos Cuerpo lauded the country's energy resilience to the Iran war, saying a pivot to solar and wind power has shielded Madrid from the worst impacts of the resulting energy shock.
It comes after the first round of negotiations between the US and Iran in Pakistan last weekend ended without a deal.
President Trump said Iran had agreed to turn over its highly enriched uranium. “They've agreed to give us back the nuclear dust,” Trump said, referring to the shorthand he often uses to describe the country’s uranium.
Few Republicans have been willing to distance themselves from the president as the war's end remains uncertain.
Pakistani officials said that Islamabad has proposed a second round of talks to the U.S. and Iran, while U.S. Vice President JD Vance said that negotiations with Iran “did make some progress.”
It’s very important that Iran does not have a nuclear weapon, and they’ve agreed to that,” Trump told reporters as he left the White House for a two-day western trip.
