US President Donald Trump on Tuesday denied reports claiming he was prepared to ease sanctions on Iran and unfreeze Iranian funds.
Trump said, “This is untrue. I offered them NOTHING!," considering Axios’ story "a HOAX.”
Axios, citing US officials, reported that Trump was prepared to consider sanctions relief and the release of frozen funds in exchange for concrete Iranian steps related to its nuclear program.
The report came amid efforts by mediators from Qatar and Pakistan to narrow differences between Washington and Tehran, following Trump’s rejection of an Iranian proposal focused on the Strait of Hormuz, the naval blockade, and sanctions on oil sales.
