Donald Trump said he could accept a 20-year halt to Iran’s nuclear programme only if Tehran provides “real” guarantees of compliance. Speaking aboard Air Force One, Trump rejected any proposal allowing Iran to retain nuclear capabilities, saying he would discard agreements containing “unacceptable” terms.
US President Donald Trump on May 15 spoke about Iran's nuclear programme aboard Air Force One, triggering fresh debate over Washington's stance on Tehran's nuclear ambitions. In the clip, Trump suggested he could accept a 20-year halt to Iran's nuclear activity but stressed that any agreement would require strong guarantees from Tehran.
“20 years is enough. But the level of guarantee from them… it’s got to be a real 20 years,” Trump said while responding to reporters' questions.
The remarks came as reporters pressed President Trump on whether he had rejected Iran's latest proposal regarding its nuclear programme. Responding sharply, the POTUS said he was unwilling to entertain any proposal that allowed Iran to retain nuclear capabilities.
“Well, I looked at it, and if I don’t like the first sentence, I just throw it away,” Trump said. When asked what the “first sentence” was, he replied, “An unacceptable sentence. Because they have fully agreed: no nuclear. And if they have any nuclear of any form, I don’t read the rest of their letter.”
