“President Donald Trump, now past his first 100 days in his second term, has vowed to keep America out of endless wars. His bold push for a ‘great trade deal’ with Iran is a chance to make good on that promise. But the war hawks in Washington and elsewhere are peddling a poison pill: Any deal, they insist, must include the total destruction of Iran’s civilian nuclear program, not just a commitment to forgo nuclear weapons. Iran has called this a non-starter. History offers a better path. Vietnam, once America’s Cold War boogeyman, shows how trade, travel, and dialogue can turn enemies into partners. Trump should seize this moment, ignore the neocons, and strike a deal that brings prosperity and peace.” (05/06/25)
