As the United States and Iran reach a preliminary agreement aimed at ending hostilities, including the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, speculation has arisen that President Donald Trump may personally attend the signing ceremony in Switzerland on June 19.
In an interview with Fox News on June 14, Vice President JD Vance stated, "Details regarding who will be present are still being coordinated, but I definitely plan to attend, and it is possible the President will join as well."
The agreement was facilitated through mediation by Pakistan and Qatar. Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif announced via X (formerly Twitter) that both sides have agreed to an immediate and permanent cessation of military operations across all fronts, including Lebanon, and confirmed that the official signing ceremony will take place in Switzerland on June 19.
President Trump also took to social media to announce that negotiations with Iran have concluded, approving the resumption of passage through the Strait of Hormuz and the lifting of U.S. port blockades against Iran.
Iran has indicated that actual implementation will commence following the signing.
If the agreement is finalized as planned, it is expected to alleviate concerns over the Strait of Hormuz, which has been a significant source of instability in international energy markets for several months. However, the preliminary agreement does not comprehensively address Iran's nuclear issues, and topics such as the nuclear program, sanctions relief, and the release of frozen funds are expected to be discussed in follow-up negotiations over the next 60 days.
President Trump is scheduled to attend the G7 summit in Évian, France, from June 15 to 17.
