President Donald Trump stated on June 5 that the United States is at a point where it can exit Iran very quickly.

According to Yonhap News Agency, during a visit to Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, where he met with agricultural leaders, Trump remarked, "It will either be a very strong agreement or the opposite. It will be either a document of agreement or a very tough approach."

He added, "A very tough approach might actually be the easier way, but we will get out, and then fertilizer prices will drop significantly. Gas prices will also fall considerably."

Trump's comments suggest that the U.S. may soon reach an agreement with Iran or resume military action.

Previously, the U.S. had reached a broad consensus with Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz alongside a ceasefire and to engage in nuclear negotiations over the next 60 days. However, they have yet to agree on the timing for the release of Iran's frozen assets.

Additionally, Trump commented on unexpectedly strong employment figures for May, describing them as results emerging amid "private conflicts," stating, "I wouldn't call it a war, but I would refer to it as military conflict." According to the U.S. Department of Labor, non-farm employment increased by 172,000 jobs in May compared to the previous month.
