The essence of Trump’s statement regarding Iran
On March 31, 2026, Trump signed a decree to ensure the integrity of the electoral process. During the subsequent press conference, journalists asked him about the prospects for ending the military conflict in the Middle East. The President responded that he considers the US withdrawal from Iran a matter of the near future.
“All we need to do is get out of Iran, and that will happen quite soon. […] I think within two to three weeks. We will leave because it no longer makes sense for us to be involved in this.”
Trump also noted that the Iranian side may reach an agreement with Washington within this timeframe; however, the conclusion of the conflict does not depend on this. The President emphasized that the main goal of US intervention—the halt of Iran’s nuclear program—has already been achieved.
Furthermore, Trump positively assessed the current political regime in Tehran, calling it “much more rational” compared to the previous leadership.
He added that negotiations regarding the de-blocking of the Strait of Hormuz are ongoing, but the responsibility for this matter lies with European partners, particularly France.
White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt announced an additional statement from the President regarding the situation in Iran, which is expected on the evening of April 1.
Reaction of financial and cryptocurrency markets
Following Trump’s statements, financial markets showed growth. Indices on stock exchanges began to rise, while oil prices fell. The cryptocurrency market also exhibited positive dynamics—almost all major digital assets recorded gains over the day.
Market leaders such as Bitcoin and Ethereum ended March with gains, marking the first “green” month in a long time for both assets.
Wall Street analysts predict further de-escalation in the Middle East, relying on the Pressure Index, which reflects when President Trump may accept a compromise under the influence of public pressure, prices, and inflation levels.
