Donald Trump signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Iran at the Palace of Versailles, announcing a ceasefire extension and framework for nuclear negotiations over 60 days. Trump proclaimed oil is flowing through the Strait of Hormuz, gas prices are falling below $4/gallon nationally, stock markets are roaring, and jobs are at records. He stated Iran can never have a nuclear weapon, warned the U.S. would resume bombing if the deal fails, and expressed preference for terminating USMCA rather than renegotiating it.
