Trump rejects Iran truce proposal but expects talks to resume
The South China Morning Post reports that Trump rejected Tehran’s proposed seven-day truce and Strait of Hormuz reopening plan, while saying negotiations with Iran could resume in the coming week.
The South China Morning Post reported that Donald Trump rejected a proposal brought by Iranian officials to the UN General Assembly in New York, but still expected negotiations with Iran to resume in the coming week. The distinction is between rejecting the proposed terms and anticipating renewed talks; the report does not say negotiations had already restarted.
The proposal called for a seven-day truce followed by reopening the Strait of Hormuz shipping channel. In a Sunday interview with Axios, Trump said he expected negotiations to resume and indicated the proposed deal was not the one he wanted.
