The president hinted at "very good" and serious progress over the weekend, saying a deal could happen within a couple of days.The potential deal is part of a years-long effort that began with Trump's first term in office when he withdrew the U.S. from an international treaty aimed at limiting Iran's nuclear program and weapons in exchange for lifting sanctions in the Middle East.Despite Trump's optimism, Oman's mediator suggested even earlier that the U.S. and Iran had reached "some but no conclusive" progress on the deal.Escalating Russia-Ukraine WarTrump expressed outrage over escalating violence in the Russia-Ukraine war, blaming both sides for the ongoing conflict.
