According to foreign media reports on June 5 (local time), President Trump, during a meeting with local agricultural officials in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, stated, "We are reaching the point where we will be able to exit Iran very quickly."

He went on to say about the direction of future developments, "The outcome will be either very strong, or the complete opposite," adding, "It will either be in the form of signing a diplomatic agreement, or it will be an extremely tough approach."

President Trump commented, "A direct approach—a hardline method—could actually be the easier path," but also emphasized, "If we pull out in any way, not only fertilizer prices, but also energy costs such as oil and gas, will drop significantly across the board." This is interpreted as a warning that if a dramatic agreement to end the conflict with Iran is not reached, the U.S. could once again take strong military action.

Currently, the United States and Iran have agreed in principle to declare an end to the conflict, fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz, and sit down at the nuclear negotiation table in earnest for the next 60 days. However, the two sides remain at odds over specific details, such as the timing of unfreezing Iran’s overseas assets.

Meanwhile, President Trump commented on the employment figures for May, which were released that day and exceeded market expectations, saying, "These results were achieved in the midst of an ongoing military clash." He further explained the current situation by saying, "Rather than calling it a 'war,' it would be more accurate to describe it as a 'military conflict.'"
