According to a report from The Times of Israel, US President Donald Trump has pushed back against reports of a $300 billion investment and reconstruction fund for Iran as part of a potential agreement with the United States, even as a verified memorandum of understanding outlines commitments to secure substantial financing.
Speaking at the G7 summit in France, Trump directly addressed the claims. “That’s false,” he stated in response to a reporter’s question.
Trump emphasized that the US would not contribute financially. “People can invest if they want. I mean, what am I going to do — say nobody’s ever allowed to invest? We’re not investing. We’re not putting up ten cents,” he said, adding that the US has no such fund.
The MOU, expected to be formally signed by both parties on Friday and confirmed by The Times of Israel, includes a specific commitment: “The United States undertakes, together with its regional partners, to create a comprehensive plan agreed upon by both parties for the rehabilitation and economic development of the Islamic Republic of Iran, while ensuring financing of at least $300 billion. The implementation mechanism of this plan, as part of the final agreement, will be formulated within 60 days.”
Trump’s comments appeared to distinguish between direct American funding and a wider initiative involving potential private or regional investment. When pressed on whether he was seeking contributions from Gulf countries, he replied, “No, I’m not,” noting that any such support would hinge on Iran’s future conduct. “If they do it, fine, but I would say they won’t be doing it for a while until they find out the behavior [of Iran]. It’s a behavior thing.”
Sources familiar with the discussions have described the proposed fund as a private mechanism aimed at encouraging corporate investment in Iran, with reports indicating that more than half the amount may already have commitments in place.
