President Donald Trump declared the United States' negotiations with Iran concluded, announcing an immediate pivot of diplomatic attention back to the war in Ukraine.
Speaking at the G7 summit in Evian, France, Trump framed the resolution of the Iranian file as a prerequisite to tackling the Russian conflict, stating that the administration can now concentrate on ensuring the Ukraine situation is resolved.
The declaration marks a significant shift in the administration's geopolitical posture.
After weeks of intense back-channel and direct talks aimed at securing a deal with Tehran, the White House now views the Iranian dimension as settled.
This development removes a major diplomatic distraction, allowing Washington to re-engage fully with European allies on sanctions enforcement and security guarantees for Kyiv.
The timing of the announcement coincides with the G7 gathering, where European leaders have been pressing the U.S. to coordinate a unified response to Russia's ongoing aggression.
