EVIAN-LES-BAINS, France (AP) \u2014 U.S. President Donald Trump<\/span> wraps up talks with world leaders at the Group of Seven summit<\/span> on Wednesday where he\u2019s been trying to sell his tentative agreement<\/span> with Iran as a pact that will ensure the Islamic Republic never develops a nuclear weapon \u2014 even though he\u2019s offered scant specificity about how that would be implemented.<\/p>\n

Trump and his fellow leaders are closing the formal talks of the leading industrial nations at a lakeside resort in the French Alps on Wednesday with sessions on the future of artificial intelligence<\/span> and fostering economic growth. <\/p>\n

The U.S. leader also plans to make a stop for a glitzy dinner at the Palace of Versailles<\/span> outside of Paris before he jets back to Washington.<\/p>\n

But first, Trump finds himself trying to quell skepticism about the Iran agreement, a difficult task given that neither the White House nor Iran have released the text of the deal. He also faces jitteriness from key ally Israel<\/span> about ending the conflict under these terms.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a great document,\u201d Trump said of the memorandum that has yet to be revealed, even though U.S. and Iranian officials are set to formally sign it at a ceremony on Friday at a stunning resort on Switzerland\u2019s Lake Lucerne<\/span>.<\/p>\n

\u201cHere\u2019s what it says: Iran will never have a nuclear weapon. It won\u2019t have one to buy, to develop \u2014 it will not have a nuclear weapon. And I would say that\u2019s about 99.9% of what I wanted,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

But Trump will continue to have to do a sales job. Some members of his own party are doubtful that the deal he\u2019s agreed to is strong enough to defang Iran\u2019s nuclear program. At the same time, he faces an anxious international community looking for him to follow through on his promise that the deal will reopen the Strait of Hormuz<\/span> to oil tanker traffic, and keep it open.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

What\u2019s in the deal<\/h2>\n

White House and Iranian officials have sometimes offered contradictory interpretations of what is in the agreement.<\/p>\n

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Israel\u2019s continued occupation of southern Lebanon, where Israeli forces have been targeting Iran-backed Hezbollah militants, would violate the deal.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWithout the withdrawal of Israeli forces from the territories they occupied during this war, the war has not fully come to an end,\u201d Araghchi said.<\/p>\n
