Trump Says There Are ‘No Limits’ to His Power
The memorandum ends the naval blockade and opens 60 days of talks on Iran’s nuclear program and reconstruction funding, officials said.
- On Wednesday, President Donald Trump signed a memorandum of understanding at the Palace of Versailles in France, effectively ending three and a half months of conflict between the United States and Iran.
- The conflict had effectively shut the Strait of Hormuz since late February, rattling global energy markets, while Trump previously demanded "unconditional surrender" from Tehran before settling for the MOU.

- The agreement includes a 60-day ceasefire and a framework for nuclear negotiations, though Republicans and Democrats have expressed concern regarding terms that could provide financial relief to Iran.
