President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that the Palestinians had no other alternative than to leave Gaza and that he would like to see neighboring countries than Jordan and Egypt to take the displaced Palestinians.
He also signed a document to stop the United States’s commitment to the United Nations Human Rights Council and stop in the financing of the UNRWA Palestinian rescue agency.
Also on Tuesday, Trump restored his campaign of “maximum pressure” on Iran which includes efforts to lead its oil exports to zero in order to prevent Tehran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.
He signed a presidential memorandum re -imposing a difficult policy at Iran intended to prevent the country from reaching a nuclear weapon and limiting its oil exports.
Speaking at the Oval Oval Office of the White House, Trump said that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon and that the United States has the right to block the sale of Iranian oil to other nations.
While he signed the memo, Trump described it as very difficult and said that he had been torn out of the opportunity to take the plunge. He said that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon and that he hopes that an agreement may be concluded with Tehran.
He also declared that he would be willing to meet his Iranian counterpart to try to persuade Iran to give up what the United States believes to be Tehran’s efforts to develop a nuclear weapon.
Trump accused former President Joe Biden of not having rigorously applied oil oil sanctions, which, according to Trump, embraces Tehran by allowing him to sell oil to finance a nuclear weapons program and militias armies in the Middle East.
Iran is “spectacularly” accelerating enrichment of uranium up to 60% purity, almost 90% of weapons, said the UN nuclear supervisory chief in December. Iran has denied wanting to develop a nuclear weapon.
Trump’s memo, among others, ordered the US Secretary of the Treasury to impose “maximum economic pressure” on Iran, including sanctions and mechanisms for applying people violating existing sanctions.
He also orders the Treasury and the State Department to implement a campaign to “lead Iranian oil exports to zero”. The American oil prices announced on Tuesday the losses on the news that Trump was planning to sign the note, which compensates for a certain weakness of the price drama between Washington and Beijing.
