On Wednesday, former U.S. President Donald Trump announced that his administration is relocating American personnel from the Middle East due to potential threats in light of ongoing tensions with Iran. Speaking at the Kennedy Center in Washington during a screening of Les Misérables, Trump stated that the region "could be a dangerous place" and reaffirmed his firm stance that Iran must not acquire a nuclear weapon.

Responding to reports of U.S. diplomatic staff being moved, Trump said:
"Well, they're being relocated because it could be a dangerous place."
Meanwhile, U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance commented at the Kennedy Center on the state of nuclear negotiations, noting that he is unsure whether Iran truly seeks a nuclear weapon, amid stalled talks between Tehran and Washington over Iran’s nuclear program.
Trump also addressed trade issues during his remarks. He indicated that he would be open to extending a July 8 deadline for ongoing trade negotiations with various nations to avoid the imposition of higher U.S. tariffs, although he added:
"I don't think that will be necessary."
He noted that trade talks are ongoing with around 15 countries, including South Korea, Japan, and the European Union. He added that the U.S. would be sending letters in the coming week or two to several other countries outlining the terms of potential trade deals — which those countries could either accept or reject.
