His reason, he explained, was a pre-planned dinner event.
“Hey sir, are you gonna try to attend the signing ceremony on Friday?” a reporter asked Trump as he sat beside French President Emmanuel Macron.
“Well, it depends. [Vice President] JD [Vance] is coming in for it, he was originally going to do it – I’ll probably be gone by then, we’re having dinner… in a day and a half, right?” Trump said, looking to Macron for confirmation. “We’re gonna be staying quite late. So I may be involved, I may not.”

Trump broadly boasted Sunday that his administration had reached a tentative deal with Iranian officials to bring about an end to the war he initiated back in late February.
While Trump bragged of his ability to “make peace with Iran” where all presidents “failed before” him, Iranian officials instead credited their own negotiators for having recruited psychologists to help navigate what they considered to be Trump’s “mental illness.”
