President Trump's rejection of the Iranian counter offer was swift and absolute.
I have just read the response from Iran's so-called representatives.
I don't like it, Trump wrote on social media.
He went on to call it totally unacceptable.
There had been hope for an agreement to reopen the straight of Harmuz for 30 days to allow negotiations
on a long-term deal, but now the path forward is unclear.
Last week, President Trump, citing progress on US Iran negotiations, abruptly paused operation project freedom, plan to provide US military protection to commercial ships through the Strait of Hormuz.
Trump didn't say what specifically he objected to in Iran's counter offer, but the future of Iran's nuclear program has been the major sticking point from the beginning.
The president has sent mixed messages on Iran's nuclear material.
In an interview last month, he said he didn't care about removing Iran's remaining stockpile of enriched uranium, saying, quote, "That's so far underground, I don't care about that."
But he's now insisting the US sees Iran's enriched uranium.
Mr. >> President, can you tell us what you think about the extracting the uranium from Iran?
>> We're going to get it.
>> How will you get it?
>> We're going to get it. As the war enters its 11th week, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told 60 Minutes the war can't end until Iran turns over that nuclear material.
I think it accomplished a great deal,
but it's not over because there's still nuclear material enriched uranium that has to be taken out of Iran.
Last week, Iran continued to block commercial ships from crossing the Straight of Hormuz, fired on US ally United Arab Emirates, and attempted to attack US naval ships, prompting US attacks in return.
Still,
President Trump insisted the ceasefire remains in place.
And this morning we are hearing again from the Iranians.
The Iranian foreign ministry saying that all they are doing is insisting on Iran's legitimate rights and saying it is the United States that is making unreasonable demands.
>> and John this week this summit with China was originally postponed because of the war with Iran, but the president can't postpone it again.
>> Uh no, it is on and this is a highly consequential summit.
It's the first meeting in China with the US president and the Chinese leader in nearly a decade.
The last one being Trump in 2017.
A huge agenda.
Artificial intelligence, trade, Taiwan, and now, of course, Iran will be a major topic of discussion.
in the White House wants the discussion.
Iran wants the Chinese to cut off trade with Iran.
