Trump’s fears about economy undercut U.S. leverage in Iran talks

U.S. President Donald Trump said the prospect of global economic collapse was a big reason he signed an interim peace deal with Iran. But that admission exposes a key U.S. weakness.

The memorandum of understanding that Trump signed on Wednesday reopened the Strait of Hormuz and set in motion waivers for sanctions on Iran’s oil sales to the international market. The effect was immediate: The price of oil tumbled further and U.S. stocks rose, facts that Trump pointed out at a news conference in France last week.

“I didn’t want to see economic catastrophe,” Trump said at a news conference in Evian, France on Thursday. “If you kept this going, that could’ve happened.”

That acknowledgment undercut the U.S. negotiating position just before the two sides launched talks in Switzerland on Sunday, with the U.S. delegation led by Vice President JD Vance.
