00:04Hello and welcome to Global Pulse News.
00:07President Donald Trump announced Tuesday that Iran has made a significant energy-related concession to the United States.
00:15He called it a positive development but offered few specifics.
00:19Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office, Trump described the move as a valuable gift worth, in his words, a
00:26tremendous amount of money.
00:27He indicated the concession was tied to the Strait of Hormuz, the critical oil transit route where the U.S.
00:34has struggled to maintain open passage.
00:37They gave us a present, Trump said, and the present arrived today, a very big present worth a tremendous amount
00:43of money.
00:44He clarified that the gesture was not nuclear-related but instead oil and gas-related.
00:50It was a very nice thing they did, he added.
00:53The President reiterated his view that the U.S. has already prevailed in the conflict and suggested Defense Secretary Pete
01:01Hegseth was surprised by how quickly events unfolded.
01:04Pete didn't want it to be settled, Trump said, without providing further detail.
01:10Trump confirmed that the U.S. is in communication with, in his words, the right people in Iran to negotiate
01:16an end to hostilities.
01:18He said the Iranians are eager to reach a deal.
01:22We're in negotiations right now, he told reporters, though he declined to offer specifics, including whether U.S. Envice Steve
01:30Witkoff and Jad Kushner plan to hold talks this week.
01:33He noted that Witkoff, Kushner, Vice President J.D. Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio are all involved in
01:40the negotiations.
