News When You Want It. With Bloomberg News Now I'm Doug Krisner. The U.S. and and Iran appear to be no closer to a ceasefire. Over the weekend, Tehran put forth a seven day proposal for reopening the Strait of Hormuz, but President Trump rejected it. Here is U.S. Ambassador to the UN Mike Waltz speaking on NBC's Meet the Press.
Michael Waltz 1:22
You know, this was, I think, a pretty cynical attempt to put something on the table that they knew was unacceptable. Uh the to ask for the release of the blockade, the sanctions, international sanctions, and uh access to billions in assets just to talk when we entered into uh a memorandum agreement just a few months ago when it was immediately violated by a tax. lacking international shipping, I think it's kind of common sense that the president doesn't have a lot of confidence this time.
Doug Krisner 1:53
That is US Ambassador to the UN Mike Waltz speaking on NBC's Meet the Press. Meantime, Axios reports President Trump is expecting negotiations to resume this week. In Iran, Foreign Minister Abbas Arachi said Tehran is prepared to resume fighting, although it's not yet abandoned diplomacy. Here is Arachi speaking on NBC's Meet the Press.
Abbas Arachi 2:15
We stand firm in the face of any aggression against us, even it comes to a doomsday war. Well at the same time, we are ready for diplomacy. But and now there is a very reasonable plan on the table. If they reject it for near for no uh with no reason, this is their their fault. And I have to say that although we heard from President Trump that he is rejecting this deal, but we are still waiting for an official response through the mediator.
Doug Krisner 2:41
That is Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Sarachi speaking on NBC's Meet the Press. President Trump says he's looking very seriously at implementing a U.S. ban on diesel fuel exports as a way of combating higher prices.
Unknown 2:54
Thinking about it very seriously, that can oftentimes lead to a little bit of an increase on gasoline for cars.
Doug Krisner 3:01
Trump's remarks come after members of his administration continue to focus on other possible steps. Meantime, oil industry CEOs are pushing for a suspension of the federal diesel fuel excise tax. They say it would ease prices without creating the drawbacks of an export ban. In the UK, five men have been arrested near an airbase used by the United States. The London Metropolitan Police received a call to the United States. Overnight related to three suspicious vehicles traveling toward RAF Fairford. It is a UK-owned base operated by the U.S. and it's been used in the strikes against Iran. Authorities are investigating whether there has been any involvement on the part of the Iranian state. Now the suspects were arrested on suspicion of offenses under the UK's Explosives Act.
