U.S. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that the memorandum of understanding signed with Iran to end the conflict was "over", ⁠adding he did not want to engage with ⁠Tehran, calling the Iranian leadership "sick people".


Speaking at a summit of NATO leaders in Ankara, Trump also said ‌he had ordered his ​Treasury Secretary ⁠Scott Bessent to cut off trade ​ties with Spain, calling ‌Madrid a "terrible partner" in NATO.


The U.S. unleashed new military ​strikes on Iran and revoked a licence allowing Iran to sell oil in response to attacks on three tankers. It was the latest blow ‌to a fragile ceasefire agreement in a ​war that is deeply unpopular in Europe.


"It's ​a ‌very interesting ⁠question. To me, I think it's over. I don't want to deal with ​them," Trump said when asked ⁠whether the memorandum ​was over. "They're scum. They're sick people. They're led by sick people."


"As far as I'm concerned, it's just a waste of ​time dealing with them," he said.
