What happened

and Iran have yet to ink an agreement to end the war that has dragged on into its fourth month, with President Donald Trump saying Saturday that he is in "no hurry" to make a deal.

Why it matters

Trump, in an interview with his daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, on Fox News, said that he is pressing for a deal that would ensure Iran never acquires a nuclear weapon.

Common ground

And while he said he would prefer that the pact is reached quickly, he is not rushing the process.

Perspective signals

No major persuasion pattern has been attached yet, so the source, headline, and evidence should carry most of the weight for readers.
