President Donald Trump [AP=Yonhap News]
As the ceasefire between the United States and Iran reaches its one-month mark, the White House announced that U.S. President Donald Trump will deliver a speech in the White House Rose Garden at noon local time on the 8th (1 a.m. on the 9th Korean time).
According to Reuters on the 7th, the White House released a schedule outlining President Trump's speech plans. However, the White House did not disclose the specific content of President Trump's planned speech.
The U.S. and Iran agreed to a 'two-week ceasefire' on the 7th of last month, and as the deadline approached, President Trump effectively extended the ceasefire indefinitely on the 21st of last month.
Given that President Trump's upcoming speech falls on the one-month anniversary of the ceasefire agreement, attention is focused on what he will say regarding peace negotiations with Iran.
Furthermore, the fact that the speech was announced the day after the U.S. and Iran engaged in a skirmish in the Strait of Hormuz suggests the possibility of strong pressure-related remarks directed at Iran.
Previously, President Trump had urged Iran to accept a peace proposal via his social media platform, Truth Social, stating, "If they do not sign an agreement quickly, we will crush them much more powerfully and brutally going forward."
