Donald Trump Urges Iran to ‘Negotiate Before It’s Too Late’

In a renewed call today (June 16, 2025), Donald Trump urged Iran to ‘negotiate immediately before it’s too late’ during a meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney on the sidelines of the G7 Summit. ‘Iran is not winning this war,’ Trump added, reminding that the U.S. ‘has always supported Israel’ and emphasized that ‘things are going very well for Israel right now,’ amid the fourth day of an escalating conflict. At the same time, leaders from the G7 drafted a joint communiqué calling for de-escalation of the Israeli-Iranian conflict, according to two sources and a draft obtained by Reuters. However, President Trump has not signed the draft, according to these sources. The text commits the G7 to preserving market stability, including energy markets, and states that Israel has the right to self-defense. The White House has not yet responded to a request for comment.
