Trump says released Iran funds to be spent on US crops
Trump says released Iran funds to be spent on US crops US President Donald Trump said unfrozen Iranian assets will be used to purchase American agricultural products, including wheat, soybeans and corn, under the framework of the recent agreement with Tehran. We're going to be taking some of their money, Trump said during an event with US farmers. And we'll spend it, and we're going to be buying wheat, soy beans and corn – a lot of it. And that process is going to be starting pretty soon. It's going to be pretty big, too. Iranian officials have previously disputed that Tehran is obligated to use the released funds to buy US products.
