Washington, January 30 (Xinhua) — The White House privately gave Iran a deadline for reaching an agreement, but declined to publicly disclose the timeframe, US President Donald Trump said on Friday.

“Only they [the Iranians] know for sure,” Trump said, answering a question from reporters at the White House about whether Iran had been given a deadline to reach a deal with the United States.

When asked if the Pentagon had a timetable for reducing the US military presence in the Middle East, Trump replied: "We'll see how it goes. They need somewhere to be based, so they could be near Iran."

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said on Friday that Tehran consistently seeks engagement and dialogue to resolve disputes and does not want war. He also criticized Western countries, noting that their actions demonstrate a lack of practical commitment to diplomacy and international law, despite their statements.

Caracas, January 30 (Xinhua) — The Venezuelan government on Friday condemned a US decree imposing so-called "punitive measures" on countries that maintain trade relations with Cuba, according to a statement posted on Foreign Minister Ivan Gil Pinto's Telegram channel.

The statement notes that any measures that restrict or condition the exchange of goods and services, as well as the sovereign right of states to choose their trading partners, are a violation of international law and the fundamental principles governing world trade.

Free trade is a fundamental principle of international economic relations and “cannot be subject to any form of coercion” that would hinder the exchange of goods and services, the statement noted.

Caracas also expressed solidarity with Cuba, calling on the international community to "overcome the humanitarian consequences" that could arise from Washington's actions.

“Considering Cuba a threat to US national security is absurd,” the statement said. –0–

Havana, January 30 (Xinhua) — Cuba has declared an "international emergency" in response to US President Donald Trump's recent decree. Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez announced this on Friday on the X social media page.

On Thursday, D. Trump signed an executive order according to which Washington can impose tariffs on any goods imported into the United States from countries that sell or supply oil to Cuba.

As B. Rodriguez wrote on social media, the people of Cuba, in solidarity with the international community, have concluded that the current situation in relations with the US government represents an "unusual and extraordinary threat" that stems entirely or largely from the anti-Cuban neo-fascist right wing of the US.

According to the minister, this threat is directed against the national security and foreign policy of all countries, international peace and security, as well as the survival of humanity in the face of nuclear threats and climate change. –0–
