President Donald Trump said that the signing of the emerging agreement could take place on Friday, noting that Vice President JD Vance is expected to attend on his behalf. Trump added that he may still be involved in the event and may not have left by then, according to a journalist report relayed via Telegram.
President Donald Trump indicated early Tuesday morning that a signing ceremony for the emerging US-Iran agreement could take place on Friday, with Vice President JD Vance attending on his behalf. In remarks relayed by journalist Mordechai K., Trump said he may still be involved in the event depending on his departure schedule.
The new statement follows a series of signals from the administration. As The Zioneer reported on Thursday (June 11), Trump first suggested the signing could happen in Europe over the weekend, with Vance attending. By Monday (June 15, 13:45), Vance confirmed in a Fox News interview that he intends to attend the signing in Geneva, with Trump's participation described as possible — the Secret Service reportedly advises against both traveling abroad together for security reasons. Later on Monday (19:13), Trump stated the deal's full contents would be released shortly after a Friday signing, per i24NEWS. The timeline, initially weekend, then Friday, has now sharpened to Friday again, with Trump's own attendance uncertain.
The venue for the ceremony has not been officially confirmed by the White House, though Pakistan's prime minister previously announced the signing would take place on Friday in Geneva. The emerging agreement, which Trump said on Monday he has Israeli backing for, follows preliminary US-Iran talks in Doha and the cancellation of planned strikes after all parties approved the deal.
What remains unclear is whether Trump will join the ceremony in person or participate remotely, and whether the venue will be Geneva or another location. Official White House confirmation of both the venue and Trump's involvement is still pending.
