‘Probably pretty soon, I would say sometime after Friday. The strait is open now, but it opens completely, we will have all the mines knocked out for the most part. We have a lot of lanes right now already.’
DOES MOU INCLUDE SANCTIONS RELIEF? ’No it doesn’t. Well they have to… it is really a behavioral thing, If they do what they are supposed to do, that would take effect.’
WHAT DO YOU EXPECT FROM FRANCE: ‘Well I would love them to do that…I don’t think we are going to need much help… it is toll free…but I don’t think it is a bad idea to have a ship or two to have up here… you would be a great country to do that.’
‘We do want to see if we can straighten out the Lebanon thing. Hezbollah, we have to have a little talk with them.'

HIGHLIGHTS:
IRAN: Macron said the Iran deal is a very important update in the Middle East.
SIGNING CEREMONY: President Trump said JD Vance will come in for the signing ceremony and said that he will be having the dinner so will likely be busy.
"I may be involved I may not."
The text of the MOU will be released "pretty soon…sometime after Friday."
HORMUZ: Trump says it will be completely open by Friday
RUSSIA-UKRAINE WAR: Trump said he had a good conversation with President Putin and Zelenskyy last night. He said they will be "focusing on that."
MORE:
The two Presidents shook hands for a photo opportunity. President Trump spoke briefly about the UFC fight. He said it was a “great evening.” Macron agreed.
Macron spoke in French then said that the Iran deal that was signed was very important. He said it's important for the whole world. He said opening the strait is imperative and also mentioned Lebanon.
Macron said they will discuss critical minerals, AI and more during these next few days.
Trump then spoke again, saying the strait is now partially open. But essentially ships are starting to go out and by Friday it will be completely open.
Trump said there is a "different set" of leaders in Iran now and that they removed several layers of leadership.

By far my biggest challenge as a father will be keeping these two humble and grounded. This is NOT real life… but what a view!
