Trump again remarks on G7 dropping Russia<\/strong><\/h2>

10:45 a.m. ET: <\/strong>President Donald Trump told reporters after meeting with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi that he was having “great meetings” with a “group of people used to be the G8.”<\/p>

“Now it\u2019s the G7. I don\u2019t know, that was a good deal or not,” Trump remarked.<\/p>

Trump has previously said removing Russia from the G8 in 2014 after it annexed Crimea was a “mistake.”<\/p>

Trump not certain on whether Friday signing ceremony of potential Iran deal will happen<\/strong><\/h2>

10:30 a.m. ET: <\/strong>When asked by reporters how confident he is that Friday\u2019s ceremonial signing will take place, President Trump remarked on the unpredictability of deals, according to The Associated Press.\u00a0<\/p>

“You never know with deals, do you? But you\u2019re going to find out pretty soon,” Trump said.<\/p>

He added: “I think it\u2019ll be done. They want to sign. They want to get back to a normal life.”<\/p>

Trump said the memorandum of understanding that he signed with Tehran is “a very strong one” and “a long and, you know, pretty detailed memorandum that goes into a regular contract.”<\/p>

Trump delays Clayton\u2019s nomination for intelligence director, but committee chairman promises hearing<\/strong><\/h2>

10:15 a.m. ET: <\/strong>The Associated Press reported that President Donald Trump said Wednesday that he was delaying federal prosecutor Jay Clayton’s nomination to lead the U.S. intelligence community in a bid to force Congress to act on a voter ID bill that currently lacks enough support for passage, but a key senator said he\u2019d push forward with a hearing.<\/p>

The chairman of the Senate intelligence committee, Tom Cotton of Arkansas, said he planned to proceed with Wednesday\u2019s confirmation hearing unless Trump orders Clayton to not appear or withdraws the nomination.<\/p>

Tump said in a social media post just hours before the hearing that he will keep Bill Pulte, a top U.S. housing official, as acting director of national intelligence.\u00a0<\/p>

According to the AP, Democratic and Republican legislators have opposed Pulte for this role, citing his lack of known experience in intelligence and his use of his current administration perch to target Trump’s perceived foes.\u00a0<\/p>

Trump says US won\u2019t spend 10 cents to help Iran rebuild<\/h2>

7:35 a.m. ET:<\/strong> The tentative agreement would provide Iran with at least $300 billion to rebuild after the intense U.S. and Israeli-led bombing campaign, according to leaked copies of the document.<\/p>

But Trump insists the U.S. won\u2019t aid the effort.<\/p>

“We\u2019re not putting up ten cents,” Trump said while meeting with Egypt\u2019s president. “People can decide to do that, but that\u2019s up to them. We are not investing in it, and we do not have a fund.”<\/p>

Trump said he\u2019s not asking Gulf countries to contribute. He said other countries are free to do so if they choose.<\/p>

Trump says agreement with Iran still hasn\u2019t been finalized<\/strong><\/h2>

7:15 a.m. ET:<\/strong> President Donald Trump told reporters, “It\u2019s a memorandum of understanding and if I don\u2019t like it, we\u2019ll go back to shooting at them, dropping bombs.”<\/p>

Trump also repeated his claim that his negotiating prowess and willingness to use military action pushed the Iranians to make a deal.<\/p>
