Trump Claims EU Support on Iran Nuclear Weapons Ban

In that discussion, Trump also addressed trade negotiations with the European Union regarding new tariffs set by the US. However, Trump claimed to have received EU support on the ban preventing Iran from possessing nuclear weapons. “We discussed many topics, including that we are fully united that Iran will never have nuclear weapons,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social, as reported by CNN International on Friday (8/5/2026). Negotiations between the US and Iran are currently ongoing. Iran is still reviewing the “message” from the US via mediator Pakistan and has not finalised its response to the US proposal to end the war. Trump also stated that he pressed Ursula on trade commitments related to what he called the “Historic Trade Deal” reached in Turnberry last year. “I have been waiting patiently for the European Union to fulfil their part of the Historic Trade Deal that we agreed to in Turnberry, Scotland, the greatest Trade Deal ever! A promise was made that the European Union would fulfil their part of the Deal and, according to the Agreement, slash their Tariffs to ZERO!” Trump continued. Trump said he agreed to give the EU time until the US 250th anniversary warning before raising tariffs “to a much higher level.” It is unclear under what authority Trump can impose such duties given the Supreme Court ruling that overturned his tariff policy earlier this year.
