U.S. President Donald Trump held urgent consultations with top security advisors on April 27, 2026, to discuss a new ceasefire proposal following a deadlock in negotiations to end the war with Iran. The meeting coincided with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi's arrival in Russia for high-level talks with President Vladimir Putin.
