Investing.com -- President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that the U.S. has not abandoned its maximum pressure campaign on Iran, including oil sales restrictions, but indicated there could be some flexibility to help Iran rebuild.

"They’re going to need money to put that country back into shape. We want to see that happen," Trump stated during a news conference at the NATO Summit when asked about potentially easing oil sanctions on Iran.

This statement follows Trump’s comments a day earlier suggesting China could continue purchasing Iranian oil after Israel and Iran reached a ceasefire agreement. The White House later issued a clarification that these remarks did not signal a relaxation of U.S. sanctions.
