The reaction is quite interesting.
I guess it takes us to the very heart of how Europe has to deal with Trump, even when the reality is staring us in the face.
But I think it is worth going through some of the reality that we now know from what is not actually a peace deal on paper, but a memorandum of understanding.
The conflict was 110 days and the accord has got 14 points lost.
And it is worth going through some of those bit by bit because you'll remember, for example, how strongly Trump advocated maximum pressure on Iran when it came to sanctions.
He really talked about the cost to Iran of the US naval blockade.
And now it turns out that America is going to actually pay for the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.
They are restoring the pre-war status quo, but they will also release what amounts to tens of billions of dollars of Iranian foreign assets.
And they will waive sanctions now to permit Iran to sell oil.
So just imagine that.
if that had been put on the table before Trump originally fired his first shots, that you will end in 110 days by reopening something that was already opened and lifting sanctions on possibly your greatest foreign enemy and paying them more to help their supplies get through.
There's also this question of the 300 billion dollar reconstruction fund.
Now, on the one hand, you know, Trump sort of says, well, you look at what we did.
We caused a trillion dollars worth of damage.
That's just, you know, part of what we want.
And if people want to invest, that's fine.
But actually, just look at it more closely.
Right.
We don't know who's funding this.
It might be the Gulf states.
