Trump denies Considering $30 Billion Nuclear Deal with Iran
Updated June 28, 2025
Donald Trump has dismissed reports that his governance was considering a $30 billion deal to assist Iran in developing a civilian nuclear program. He labeled the reports as “fake news” in a post on his Truth Social platform.
“who in the FAKE NEWS MEDIA is the SleazeBag saying that ‘President Trump wants to give Iran $30 billion to build non-military Nuclear facilities.’ Never heard of this ridiculous idea,” Trump wrote. “It’s just another HOAX put out by the Fake News in order to demean. These people are SICK!!!”
The alleged proposal, which was reported by CNN, suggested that the Trump administration was exploring economic incentives for Iran to halt uranium enrichment.The deal would have also allowed Iran to receive assistance from regional countries to build its civilian nuclear program,potentially granting Tehran access to $30 billion.
Such a deal would represent a significant policy shift for Trump, who withdrew the U.S. from the Obama administration’s nuclear agreement with iran in 2018. At the time, Trump argued that the sanctions relief provided a “lifeline of cash” to the Iranian regime, enabling its “malign activities.”
last week, the U.S. reportedly struck three key nuclear facilities in Iran amid escalating tensions. Following these strikes, Trump brokered a ceasefire between the U.S. ally Israel adn Iran.
What’s next
The situation remains fluid, and future developments will likely depend on diplomatic efforts and the evolving political landscape in the U.S. and the Middle East.
