"A source close to the Iran negotiations is telling CNN that any significant movement will, quote, Depend on the results of the president's visit to Beijing. That's because, Beijing, of course, is by far Iran's most important economic partner. More than 80 percent of the oil shipped from Iran goes to China."
"Right now, after reading that piece of garbage they sent us I didn't even finish reading it I said, I'm not going to waste my time reading it. I would say, it's one of the weakest. Right now, it's on life support. I would say the ceasefire is on massive life support, where the doctor walks in and says, Sir, your loved one has approximately a 1 percent chance of living."
"And they are negotiating, by the way, and they want to make a deal so badly, but they're afraid to say it. They are begging to work out a deal. They'd like to make a deal very badly, very badly."
The Iran ceasefire talks have continued for more than two months, with the Trump administration moving through repeated cycles of optimism and escalation. A source close to the negotiations says any significant movement depends on the results of the president’s visit to Beijing, because China is Iran’s most important economic partner. More than 80 percent of the oil shipped from Iran goes to China. President Trump has criticized Iran’s latest proposal as weak and described the ceasefire as being on life support with a very low chance of survival. He has also said Iran wants a deal but is afraid to admit it, and that it is begging to work out an agreement.
