Donald Trump denies the United States is negotiating with Iran and says an outcome will come soon
Question
Donald Trump denies the United States is negotiating with Iran and says an outcome will come soon
Direct answer
The denial reduces near-term confidence in a negotiated de-escalation and supports a wider oil and geopolitical-risk premium, although the promise of a near-term outcome limits conviction in a prolonged escalation scenario.
