President Trump, who is visiting France for the G7 summit, held a bilateral meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron.

During the meeting, President Trump emphasized the significance of the memorandum of understanding (MOU) on ending the war signed with Iran, noting that it prevents Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.

[Donald Trump/U.S. President: The key is that Iran will not have nuclear weapons. Iran has agreed to this under the condition of strong monitoring, and they will not possess nuclear weapons.]

He asserted that the Strait of Hormuz will be opened following the signing of the MOU on Friday, the 19th.

He also stated that there would be no tolls.

[Donald Trump/U.S. President: Ships have started to depart (from the Strait of Hormuz). By Friday, it will be fully opened.]

Trump also emphasized that the easing of sanctions on Iran depends on Iran's future actions.

[Donald Trump/U.S. President: It is a matter of actions. If they do what they are supposed to do, then the effects (of easing sanctions) will begin to appear.]

It has been reported that prior to the official ceremony, President Trump and Vice President Vance for the U.S. side, and Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf for the Iranian side, have already completed electronic signatures on the end-of-war MOU.

However, the possibility of further friction remains regarding issues such as Hormuz transit tolls and the easing of sanctions on Iran during future detailed negotiations.

President Trump avoided a direct answer when asked about the signing ceremony scheduled to be held in Switzerland on the 19th, saying he might or might not attend.
