Trump says ‘we don’t need a deal with Iran’

Donald Trump said the United States did not need a deal with Iran, as diplomatic contacts were reportedly under consideration. His comments came as the war entered its ninth month without a clear end, with energy costs and inflation adding to economic concerns.

The Wall Street Journal reported that Vice-President JD Vance was considering meeting a senior Iranian security official. Stock futures fell after Trump’s post. He also said Vance would focus on alleged corruption and crime in Democratic-run cities and states, claiming that billions of dollars were being stolen each month.
