Trump: Iran gave US a major energy gift

US President Donald Trump speaks to reporters before boarding Air Force One at Palm Beach International Airport in West Palm Beach, Florida, on March 23, 2026. President Donald Trump said Monday that there are "major points of agreement" in US-Iran talks which he said must result in Tehran giving up its nuclear ambitions and enriched uranium stockpile. Trump said the talks -- which Iran denies are taking place -- were being conducted with a "top person" but not the country's supreme leader. (Photo by SAUL LOEB / AFP)
