Trump Rejects Reports of $30 Billion Deal for Non-Military Nuclear Facilities in Iran
US President Donald Trump has dismissed reports of a $30 billion deal between the US and Iran for the establishment of non-military nuclear facilities. Trump claimed that the reports were "just another hoax" created to demean him. According to a CNN report, the Trump administration had explored possible economic incentives for Iran to build a non-enrichment nuclear program, with a potential investment of $20-30 billion from America's Arab partners. The investment would come in exchange for Iran agreeing to negotiate on its nuclear program. Trump also slammed Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei for lying about Iran's victory in the recent conflict with Israel.
