As you know, President Trump will be meeting with Secretary Ruta in a couple of hours here at the White House, and I know he looks forward to having a very frank and candid conversation with him.
Were those reports just as of a few minutes ago?
Yeah.
Okay, so obviously I'll have to go back and check with the national security team.
I'm standing out here with all of you.
But I will do that, and we will get you an answer, okay?
And I would just add to that point.
Again, I haven't seen these reports.
I'm not verifying them.
Not that I don't trust you, Trevor, but I want to go back and check with the experts here at the White House.
I would just say, and I would echo what the Vice President said this morning, this is a fragile truce.
Ceasefires are fragile by nature.
We've seen this with respect to the 12-day war with Iran and Israel last year.
It takes time sometimes for these ceasefires to be fully effectuated.
And one of the results of Operation Epic Fury was we completely dismantled
Iran's command and control center, which makes it difficult for them to pass messages up and down the chain.
And so we understand that.
I would caution a little bit of patience, but of course we want to see the ceasefire effectuated and abided by by all parties as quickly as possible.
it would simply turn over the enriched uranium or is this an expectation the president has that he would have to send in ground troops in order to do that this is on the top of the priority list for the president and his negotiating team as they head into this next round of discussions and as i said in my opener that is a red line that the president is not going to back away from and he's committed to ensuring that takes place we hope it will be through diplomacy
I think Caroline summed it up pretty well.
