"President Trump directed the most complex and secretive military operation in history, and it was a resounding success, resulting in a ceasefire agreement and the end of the 12-day war" in Iran, Hegseth said.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said he didn't know of any intelligence showing that stores of highly enriched uranium were moved out of the Iranian nuclear sites hit by American bombers over the weekend.

After the event, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick told Bloomberg TV that the signing Trump referred to took place two days ago and that it codified tariff agreements the United States and China made in the Geneva and London negotiations. It was not a comprehensive trade deal between the world's two largest economies.
