Trump threatens to read Iran peace deal to the media 'word by word' [View all]

President Donald Trump on Tuesday attempted to deflect questions about the content of his purported deal to end his war with Iran by promising to read the text of the deal to journalists "in a couple of days."

Speaking at a bilateral meeting with United Arab Emirates President Mohamed bin Zayed at the G7 summit in France, Trump said he was waiting for a "formal setting" to release the text of the full deal.

"I'll not only release it — I'll probably have a press conference and read it to you word by word, so that the press covers it accurately," Trump said before comparing the as-yet unseen text to the detailed nuclear agreement reached between Iran and the five permanent U.N. Security Council members during the Obama administration.

The president's remarks came less than a day after two senior U.S. officials told reporters the text of the agreement would be released publicly for "full transparency" and to prove there are no "side agreements" being hidden from the public.
