“President Donald Trump on Monday said that what remains of the U.S. ceasefire with Iran is "on life support" after Tehran sent an "unacceptable" counter to Washington's proposal to end the war.”
SINGLE SOURCE
While evidence confirms Donald Trump is the current president and that a ceasefire existed and was extended, none of the provided evidence sources explicitly contain the quote 'on life support' or the specific detail about an 'unacceptable' counter-proposal. The evidence confirms the general context but not the specific phrasing of the claim.
