President Donald Trump proclaimed on Tuesday that talks with Iran were not happening, a direct contradiction to his own son-in-law and top negotiator Jared Kushner, who said a day earlier that the negotiations were ongoing.
“There are no talks or conversations going on, or scheduled, with the Islamic Republic of Iran,” the president posted to Truth Social on Tuesday. “The Naval Blockade remains in full force and effect. The Hormuz Strait is open and operating. All water mines have been removed or detonated. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”
But Trump’s post may have been news to Kushner, the husband of first daughter Ivanka Trump, who indicated to Fox News chief foreign correspondent Trey Yingst on Monday that the talks were ongoing, and that the president was waiting “for the right deal.”
“Right now, President Trump’s been focused on the economic pressure,” Kushner told Yingst. “He really feels strongly about the blockade. If you look at the Iranian economy, it’s way worse off — it was bad before the war — it’s way worse off now. But President Trump’s very, very clear on why he took the actions he took, which is he believes that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.”
He added: “And if Iran is willing to, you know, finish the deal they’ve been discussing with us to give up their ability to create a nuclear weapon, then obviously he is going to make a deal that could be great for the Iranian people, and it’s something he would be open to. But right now, they aren’t showing any interest in doing something that makes sense for us.”
The latest development comes as the Iran conflict approaches the six-month mark.
Kushner spoke to Yingst in Jerusalem, where he met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a bid to push Trump’s 15-point plan for peace between Israel and Hamas, CNN reported.
Kushner wound up leaving Israel without a breakthrough in the talks as Israeli and Hamas leadership held firm on their own demands, according to Reuters.
