Trump Says U.S.-Iran Deal Could Open Hormuz, Unsure on Friday Signing

Summary
Trump told G7 leaders a U.S.-Iran agreement could improve Middle East ties and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, while saying he may or may not attend a planned Friday signing.
Friday is the target for formalizing the deal, but Trump said Vice President JD Vance could handle the event and warned that if relations fail, "we go back to where we started."
Macron said France could send fighter jets over Hormuz as early as Tuesday, with frigates within 48 hours and its aircraft carrier within two to three days to help secure shipping.
Trump argued the strait would reopen without much outside help, though he welcomed allied naval support as G7 countries push to restore energy flows after the tentative deal.
