Despite recent peace negotiations, he claims there are no restrictions on his actions. trump signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Iran to end their conflict, which was initially set to be signed in Switzerland but was instead signed in France at Versailles, following a meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron after the G7 summit.
