How Trump decided to sign a deal with Iran at Versailles palace

PARIS (AP) — French President Emmanuel Macron offered Donald Trump a glitzy dinner in Versailles — and the U.S. president seized the opportunity to sign an initial deal with Iran inside the palace.

As Trump was about to leave France on Wednesday following three days of intense diplomatic talks at a G7 summit, he casually announced to reporters as he was getting into his car: "We signed in Versailles."

In videos posted on X by Macron and a White House aide, Trump was seen seated at a table signing a paper copy of the agreement. He then handed the document and pen to Secretary of State Marco Rubio as Macron, sitting next to him, told him: "Good job. Bravo."

Officials and guests applauded.

Trump was probably taken by the glitziness of the place.

in the same railroad car where Germany surrendered to France to end WW I.
Not many people know this, but Der Fuhrer was a terrific dancer.
