Évian-les-Bains, France, June 16 (Reuters) - U.S. ⁠President Donald Trump on Tuesday told reporters at the ‌G7 meetings in France that the memorandum of understanding with Iran states clearly that Iran will not have a nuclear weapon.

Trump said that ​he will release the text of the ⁠U.S.-Iran memorandum in a ⁠formal setting.

The president also said he likes the idea of ⁠sending ‌the Iran deal to Congress for review, a request by some Republican lawmakers.

"I never thought about ⁠sending it, never even thought about it, but ​I will," Trump ‌told reporters. "I will send it to Congress. I ⁠like the idea."

The ​U.S. deal with Iran is an agreement to hash out details in the coming weeks.

"I think it's going to go ⁠pretty quickly," Trump told reporters about the ​next phase of negotiations with Iran, stipulated with a 60-day deadline.

"Iran wants to get it done. They have to get ⁠back to business, and the relationship is now normalized, so I think it's going to go pretty quickly," Trump told reporters during his meeting with Mohamed bin Zayed Al ​Nahyan, the president of the United ⁠Arab Emirates, on the sidelines of the G7.

"Could go faster, could ​take longer too, but it ‌could go fast."
