EVIAN: U.S. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday in France that the United States and Iran might sign a memorandum of understanding as soon as Thursday or Friday.

The deal may be the beginning of a much larger deal across the Middle East, Trump said at the conclusion of the G7 summit in Evian, France.

"It's appropriate that we release the agreement, and we did send a copy to Israel, by the way. They've been a good partner," Trump said during a press conference.
