Trump Denies Report He Offered Iran Sanctions Relief for Nuclear Concessions

President Donald Trump denied reports that he had offered to ease sanctions on Iran in exchange for "concrete" steps on its nuclear program, using a social media post to reject the characterization, according to a live report from The Guardian.

The report did not specify which outlet or officials had originally reported the offer, nor did it detail the specific terms of the sanctions relief that had been described. Trump's denial did not, according to the excerpt, include further explanation of the administration's current position on negotiations with Iran.

Iran's nuclear program has remained a persistent point of tension between Washington and Tehran, with successive US administrations weighing sanctions policy as leverage in efforts to constrain Iran's nuclear activities. Reports of potential sanctions relief tied to nuclear concessions have periodically surfaced amid broader diplomatic maneuvering between the two countries.

Separately, the same live coverage reported that Trump was scheduled to host a meeting on artificial intelligence with House Speaker Mike Johnson and several technology executives, including Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Anthropic's Dario Amodei. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and OpenAI President Greg Brockman were also expected to attend, according to sources familiar with the planning cited by Reuters.

The AI meeting comes amid growing calls for expanded regulation of fast-developing artificial intelligence technology, though the report did not detail the specific agenda or expected outcomes of the discussion.

Neither the White House nor the companies involved in the AI meeting were reported to have issued additional public comment beyond the meeting's confirmation.
