He described it in a Truth Social post as “productive discussions over the past two days toward fully resolving hostilities in the Middle East.”
Speed Doesn’t Replace Strategy.
AI can surface the numbers in seconds, but numbers alone don’t create clarity.
In fact, many leaders have more financial data than ever yet less clarity about what to do next.
The real challenge isn’t reporting. It’s interpretation. Context. Judgment.

This marks the first direct negotiations between the US and Iran since the war began on February 28.
The pause is conditional on continued progress in talks, meaning strikes could resume at any point if negotiations stall.
Markets reacted immediately, with S&P 500 futures surging +2.5%, WTI Crude Oil prices dropping -11% while gold and silver recovering from the last few days historic sell-off.
However, the Strait of Hormuz remains effectively closed, and it is unclear whether Iran will ease transit restrictions as part of the negotiations.
Meanwhile, Iran's Foreign Ministry denied any direct talks with Washington, accusing President Trump of "buying time" while regional de-escalation efforts continue.
