Trump expects response from Iran ‘tonight’ on proposed peace deal

President Trump told reporters Friday that he expects to hear from Iran “tonight” on a proposal to end hostilities in the region.

“I’m getting a letter supposedly tonight. So we’ll see how that goes,” Trump said as he prepared to depart the White House for a dinner at his golf course in Northern Virginia.

When asked if he thought Iran was slow-walking the process, the president responded: “I don’t know. We’ll find out soon enough.”

The one-page memorandum of understanding Trump is waiting to hear back on is expected to serve as the foundation for a broader treaty to be negotiated at a later date.

The US has offered to ease sanctions in exchange for Iran halting uranium enrichment and the reopening of commercial shipping routes through the Strait of Hormuz, sources familiar with negotiation efforts have told The Post.
