Claim 2: “Harlan Ullman of the Killowen Group argues that US President Donald Trump is chasing any deal to relieve mounting pressures at home”
SINGLE SOURCE
While web search results confirm that Harlan Ullman is indeed the Chairman of the Killowen Group, the specific claim that he 'argues that US President Donald Trump is chasing any deal to relieve mounting pressures at home' is not corroborated by the provided evidence. The Al Jazeera snippet shows him discussing the potential for negotiations, but does not explicitly state the specific motivation regarding 'mounting pressures at home'.
