“When You Make a Deal, Pay Attention to the Fine Details”

Bill Bunkley’s “This Is Something to Think About

Air Date Thursday, June 18, 2026

President Trump held a press conference yesterday in France. Questions focused on the Iranian Memorandum of Understanding, which has yet to be fully published.

When it is disclosed in the next few days, it is NOT the final deal, just an outline of some terms, not all. The deal is supposed to be finalized in 60 days; however, I highly doubt it will be.

From what has been reported, I, along with others, have concerns. I’ll wait to review the memorandum before commenting on specifics.

Trump’s key Administration leaders seem to be split on the deal. Trump’s pro-deal negotiators, Steve Witkoff and son-in-law Jarred Kushner, are on the prevailing side, while Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of War Pete Hegset, and CIA Director John Ratcliff appear skeptical.  

Stay Tuned.
