During this time, President Trump has consistently stated his goal of removing the nuclear threat of Iran and sees no way for them to have enriched uranium. Just yesterday, President Trump held a Cabinet meeting at the White House and said Iran was "negotiating on fumes." In recent hours, news broke indicating that the United States and Iranian negotiators have reached an agreement. It's an agreement to a 60-day memorandum of understanding which extends the current ceasefire and also negotiations concerning Iran's nuclear program. This all awaits the approval of President Trump. News reports have also indicated that the United States shot down Iranian drones near the Strait of Hormuz. Iran also launched a ballistic missile against Kuwait.
