White House Press Secretary Levitt stated on the 30th that President Trump intends to call on Arab countries to cover the costs of US military action against Iran, and that this is Trump’s own idea.
When asked at a press conference whether Arab countries would help pay the costs of war, she said she believed Trump "would be very interested in urging them to do so."
She said: "As far as I know, this is indeed an idea he has had, and I think you will hear more from him on this topic soon."
She pointed out that the US military action against Iran is proceeding as planned, and the US side still maintains that the operation will last 4 to 6 weeks.
She stated that at present, Iran has agreed to allow 20 oil tankers to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, "We expect to announce an additional 20 oil tankers in the coming days," which is the result of ongoing direct and indirect negotiations between the US and Iran.
Levitt urged Iran to reach an agreement with the United States as soon as possible. President Trump has set April 6 as the deadline for Iran to reach an agreement with the US, "There are only a few days left for this timeline, let’s wait and see."
On the 26th, Trump posted on social media, announcing that the operation to destroy Iran’s energy facilities would be postponed by 10 days, with the deadline extended to 8 p.m. Eastern Time on April 6.
