Nuclear deal with Iran
New nuclear talks in Rome have begun
US and Iranian representatives are in Rome for a fifth round of nuclear talks, news agencies report.
During Friday's meeting, enrichment remains the most important issue of dispute, writes TT. Iran should not be allowed to continue enriching uranium at all, in exchange for easing of US sanctions against the country, according to US representatives.
That would mean there will be no agreement at all, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Aragchi insisted during the day.
“Figureing out the path to an agreement is not rocket science,” he writes on X and continues:
“Zero nuclear weapons = we have an agreement. Zero enrichment = we do NOT have an agreement. Time to decide…”
Voices about tariffs
Analysis: Trump is tired of the bureaucrats in Brussels
The US and the EU have completely different views on how trade is conducted. This is what Agathe Demarais, an analyst at the think tank European Council on Foreign Relations, told Politico after Trump’s latest tariff threat.
Demarais believes that the US president is bothered by the EU’s “professional, calm and bureaucratic” approach to negotiations.
– It clashes with Trump’s desire to quickly conclude attractive agreements, even if they mean very little in practice.
She believes that the negotiations are almost impossible for Europe, because the US’s goals are unclear.
DN's Carl Johan von Seth writes that a tariff war is hurting the economy on both sides of the Atlantic, but that the big question is whether Trump's threats should be taken seriously.
The EU has not wanted to put up with Trump's "tariff circus" and the president's credibility is suffering major problems, now that even the 90-day pause has not been shown to be serious, he writes.
"Making crazy threats to the right and left and constantly changing has so far done more damage in the US than in the rest of the world."
Malin Rising notes in DI that Trump's threat came on the same day that top officials from the EU and the US are to negotiate.
"Donald Trump's threat feels like a classic trick from the former real estate magnate's handbook for business negotiations."

US-South Africa relations
Trump's photo evidence of "genocide" was from the wrong country
During Cyril Ramaphosa's visit to the White House, Donald Trump showed what he claimed was evidence of a "genocide" of whites in South Africa. One of the photos showed body bags that Trump claimed contained the bodies of murdered South Africans. In fact, it was a photo from a completely different country – Congo-Kinshasa, writes Reuters.
It was a screenshot from a film the news agency published in February showing aid workers lifting body bags in the Congolese city of Goma, after deadly fighting with Rwanda-backed M23 rebels.
The White House has not commented on the information.
