The meeting that took place at the White House yesterday was British Foreign Secretary David Lammy with Secretary of State Marco Rubio and US Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff. We’re told that Lammy came away with a genuine feeling that Trump does want to see a deal [with Iran].
But we also know that Lammy was told the Americans are skeptical the Iranians will buy into what Trump wants, which is giving up any kind of nuclear weapons ambitions.
Later today, Lammy will be meeting the Iranian foreign minister with his French and German counterparts. The idea being that they can soften the ground to see if Iran can be brought back to the negotiating table.
If that does happen, then it’s likely Witkoff will meet with the Iranians at some point in the next two weeks.
But two weeks is a long time in the world of Donald Trump. All it takes is for him to pick up his phone, open Truth Social, write a message, and foreign policy changes, just like that.
