Summary
WSJ: No deal likely before Trump deadline expires
The gap between Washington and Tehran cannot be bridged before President Donald Trump’s deadline expires, The Wall Street Journal reported, quoting US officials.
The report said Trump has grown less optimistic in private about reaching an agreement, though negotiations could still alter the situation.
Trump may order strikes as early as Tuesday evening, the report said, while Republicans are concerned about rising gasoline prices and the political impact ahead of midterm elections.
White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt said, “Only President Trump knows what he will do,” adding that the outcome would become clear soon.
