Trump hints at easing Iran oil sanctions amid ceasefire to help country rebuild
US President Donald Trump has stated that while Washington's "maximum pressure" campaign on Iran remains in place, including strict limitations on Iranian oil sales, there may be an easing of enforcement to help the country rebuild.'They're going to need money to put that country back into shape. We want to see that happen,' Trump said during a press conference at the NATO Summit when asked whether sanctions would be day earlier, Trump remarked that China could continue purchasing Iranian oil following a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Iran. However, the White House later clarified that his comments did not reflect any official softening of US sanctions policy. Trump previously targeted several Chinese independent refineries and port operators for continuing to import Iranian oil. Despite this, his Middle East envoy, Steve Witkoff, told CNBC that Trump's remarks were meant to signal cooperation rather than confrontation.'It was a signal to the Chinese that we want to work with you, we're not trying to harm your economy,' Witkoff said, adding that the US hopes this message will also resonate with Trump compared the US bombing of three Iranian nuclear sites to the atomic attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki that ended World War second.'That hit ended the war. That hit ended the war. I don't want to use an example of Hiroshima, I don't want to use an example of Nagasaki, but that was essentially the same thing that ended that war. This ended that, this ended that war. If we didn't take that out, they would have been fighting right now,' he said.- EndsTune InMust Watch

"They Need Money": Trump Signals US May Ease Iran Oil Sanction
Washington: President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that the U.S. has not given up its maximum pressure on Iran - including restrictions on sales of Iranian oil - but signaled a potential easing in enforcement to help the country rebuild. "They're going to need money to put that country back into shape. We want to see that happen," Trump said at a news conference at the NATO Summit when asked if he was easing oil sanctions on Iran. Trump said a day earlier that China can continue to purchase Iranian oil after Israel and Iran agreed to a ceasefire, but the White House later clarified that his comments did not indicate a relaxation of U.S. sanctions. Trump imposed waves of Iran-related sanctions on several of China's independent "teapot" refineries and port terminal operators for purchases of Iranian oil. Steve Witkoff, Trump's Middle East envoy, told CNBC that Trump's comment on China's ability to buy Iranian oil "was a signal to the Chinese that we want to work with you, that we're not interested in hurting your economy." China is the top buyer of Iranian crude and has long opposed Trump's sanctions on the oil. "We're interested in working together with you in unison, and hopefully that becomes a signal to the Iranians," Witkoff said.
