During a press briefing at the White House, Trump described the ceasefire as "incredibly weak, in the weakest state."
He elaborated, saying, "The ceasefire is heavily reliant on life support, and the doctor says there’s about a 1% chance of survival."
Trump emphasized that he finds Iran's proposals unacceptable and foolish, asserting that he has a very simple plan to end the war with Iran and that the country cannot possess nuclear weapons.
He also claimed that Iran had initially agreed to transfer highly enriched uranium to the U.S. but later changed its mind. "Two days ago they said yes, then they changed their minds because it wasn’t specified in the documents," he said.
Trump urged attendees at a White House event not to speak for too long, noting, "Many generals are waiting for me. This is important, and it concerns the lovely country of Iran." While meant as a joke, his comment hinted at a potential review of military operations against Iran.
Meanwhile, Trump had previously been pushing for a declaration to end the war with Iran before his planned visit to China from May 13 to 15, but it now appears that a resolution before the trip is unlikely.
As a result, Trump may ask Chinese President Xi Jinping for assistance in persuading and pressuring Iran during his visit, aiming to resolve the conflict with Iran through Xi's cooperation.
