On June 9, local time, CNN reported that during a phone rally to support Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina ahead of the primaries, Trump said, "I believe we are winning that fight," adding, "In the next two weeks, I will declare 'complete victory.'" He asserted, "It will be a complete victory and it will happen very soon," predicting that oil prices would also drop.
Trump mentioned that negotiations with Iran are ongoing, stating, "They want a very good deal." He claimed, "They are willing to give us everything and agree to not possess nuclear weapons."
However, CNN noted that this is not the first time Trump has promised significant progress within two weeks. The ceasefire announced on April 7 was initially based on both sides maintaining it for two weeks while finalizing a peace agreement. Additionally, he had claimed just the day before that an agreement with Iran could be reached within ten days.
Despite this optimism, negotiations have yet to reach a final agreement. Trump, while appearing on NBC's "Meet the Press," reiterated that Iran is eager for negotiations but responded to questions about why an agreement has not yet been reached by saying, "They are strong and proud."
He added, "There are things they never thought they would do, but now they have to do them. They have no choice, and it takes a little time."
