It is unclear what specific changes Trump made to the text of the agreement. Two officials said Trump was concerned about the parts of the potential agreement that involved unfreezing Iranian funds. He has been a vocal critic of former President Obamas approach in an agreement signed more than a decade ago to curb Irans nuclear program. One official said Trump was also disappointed by Irans slow response to the US proposals, which were reached through repeated consultations involving intermediaries including Pakistan. The official added that Trumps proposed modifications—a more stringent new proposal—may be aimed at accelerating the process by pressuring Iran to accept the framework agreement already submitted to its Supreme Leader Mojtaba for approval.On May 31, a meeting was held in Shanxi Province to deploy a special campaign to address safety risks and hidden dangers in coal mines. The meeting, held on May 30, was attended and addressed by Lu Dongliang, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and Governor of Shanxi Province.

All levels of government and departments across the province must learn from these cases, be inspired by past mistakes, and remain vigilant regarding safety. They must strengthen their sense of urgency, responsibility, and mission in ensuring safety. The meeting stressed the need to always prioritize the people and their lives, and to thoroughly investigate and address safety risks and hidden dangers in the provinces coal mines with a firm resolve, ensuring the effective implementation of the "eight hard measures" for mine safety. The meeting also emphasized focusing on the coal mines with the most prominent problems and concentrated risks, adopting a "zero-tolerance" attitude to accurately investigate and severely crack down on illegal and irregular activities such as hidden working faces, falsified safety monitoring, unauthorized mining beyond permitted layers or boundaries, illegal subcontracting, and failure to implement major disaster management measures.

We must also focus on rectifying prominent problems such as the weak establishment of the concept of safe development, a lack of awareness of the rule of law, failure to implement the responsibilities of "key personnel," insufficient penetration of safety supervision, and lax and lenient law enforcement inspections at the grassroots level.On May 31, the Colombian Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement on May 30, local time, stating that in response to the Ecuadorian governments earlier announcement that it would stop imposing a "safety tax" on Colombian goods, Colombia would lift its trade retaliatory measures against Ecuador and promote the normalization of bilateral economic and trade relations.
