Washington (Web Desk): White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has reaffirmed that President Donald Trump will prioritize America’s national security interests above all else in any international agreement, particularly in ongoing discussions related to Iran.
Speaking during a press briefing, Leavitt said the United States remains engaged in diplomatic negotiations with Iranian officials, but made it clear that the administration will not rush into any agreement that could compromise American interests or weaken national security.
She stressed that Washington is approaching the talks with caution and strategic consideration, ensuring that every step taken aligns with the country’s long-term security objectives.
The White House spokesperson emphasized that President Trump’s foremost responsibility is the protection of the American people and the safeguarding of US national interests.
According to her, the administration is carefully reviewing all aspects of the negotiations and will not accept any arrangement that fails to meet the standards set by the president and his national security team.
Leavitt also underlined that the US government would not agree to what she described as a “bad deal” with Iran. She noted that while diplomacy remains an important tool, the administration believes any potential agreement must deliver clear guarantees and tangible outcomes that serve American security priorities.
Her remarks come amid continued international attention on US-Iran relations and ongoing diplomatic efforts aimed at addressing tensions surrounding Tehran’s policies and nuclear-related concerns.
The White House has repeatedly maintained that any future understanding with Iran must ensure stability, prevent security threats, and protect both American allies and broader regional interests.
