Trump posted that any deal with Iran would be good and proper, criticizing criticism of an agreement that had not been fully negotiated or seen. He said negotiations were proceeding in an orderly and constructive manner and instructed representatives not to rush, arguing that time was on the US side. He previously stated that an agreement had been largely negotiated, subject to finalization among the United States, Iran, and other countries, with final aspects and details being discussed and to be announced shortly. Rubio said there could be good news around May 24, then cautioned that nuclear talks are highly technical and cannot be completed quickly.
""If I make a deal with Iran, it will be a good and proper one," Trump wrote on Truth Social while blasting predecessor Barack Obama for the landmark 2015 nuclear agreement that he pulled the US out of during his first term. "Our deal is the exact opposite, but nobody has seen it, or knows what it is. It isn't even fully negotiated yet. So don't listen to the losers, who are critical about something they know nothing about," he added."
"In aseparate May 24 post, Trump wrote that "negotiations are proceeding in an orderly and constructive manner, and I have informed my representatives not to rush into a deal in that time is on our side." A day earlier, Trump wrote that "an Agreement has been largely negotiated, subject to finalization between the United States of America, the Islamic Republic of Iran, and the various other Countries.""
""Final aspects and details of the Deal are currently being discussed, and will be announced shortly," he asserted. In the past, Trump has suggested that a deal was imminent, only to later reject Iranian counterproposals and threaten new attacks. Rubio, meanwhile, earlier had said "good news" on the negotiations could come sometime on May 24, telling reporters during a trip to India there has been "significant progress" in the talks."
"However, in a later interview with The New York Times, Rubio appeared to tamp down hopes for an early deal, cautioning that a nuclear agreement would take time to achieve. "We're not kicking it till later. Nuclear talks are highly technical matters. You can't do a nuclear thing in 72 hours on the back of a napkin," Rubio told the Times."
