President Donald Trump said an agreement under discussion with Iran would be a better replacement for the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, or JCPOA, signaling optimism about continued negotiations.
On April 20, Trump wrote on Truth Social that “the deal now under discussion will be far better than the JCPOA.”
He blasted the earlier nuclear accord as “one of the worst deals in the history of American security.” Trump also argued that the agreement was structured in a way that could have enabled Iran to develop nuclear weapons.
He also criticized funding previously provided by the US to Iran, saying the nuclear threat would have become a reality if he had not ended the deal.
Trump added that a new agreement, if reached, could guarantee peace and security for Israel, the Middle East, Europe and the US.
Markets interpreted the remarks as a sign that Trump wants to underscore momentum in talks with Iran. Still, it remains unclear whether a deal will be reached and on what terms.
