Trump says the US and Iran have ‘sort of’ agreed on the terms for a nuclear deal

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — U.S. President Donald Trump’s visit to the Middle East this week as scheduled won’t include a visit to Israel to discuss the war in Gaza, or talks with Iran about its nuclear program. Instead, Trump will travel to Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, three energy-rich monarchies home to existing or planned Trump-branded real estate projects – places where he aims to leverage American economic interests to do what he personally revels in: making business deals. But Trump won’t be able to avoid altogether diplomacy on Gaza or Iran: The Gulf countries hosting him are also interested in easing the regional tensions that emanate from these two places.
