(NBC)- President Donald Trump wrapped up three days of diplomacy at the G7 summit Thursday, promoting what he described as a framework for peace with Iran while lawmakers from both parties said they have yet to be briefed on the agreement.

Speaking ahead of a planned news conference, Trump said he expected to publicly outline the details of the proposed memorandum of understanding.

“I’ll probably have a press conference and read it to you word by word,” Trump said.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune said lawmakers are still seeking information about the agreement.

“I certainly have not yet, although we are requesting that,” Thune said.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer criticized the administration’s handling of the negotiations.

“He needs to stop keeping America in the dark,” Schumer said.

According to Trump, the proposed agreement would prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, would not include U.S. investments in Iran and would guarantee an open, toll-free Strait of Hormuz.

“We’re going to have it fully open by Friday,” Trump said.

The president’s comments came as average U.S. gas prices fell below $4 per gallon, though industry analysts cautioned that shipping operations through the region may take weeks to fully normalize.

Questions also remain about the future of Iran’s nuclear program and ongoing fighting between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon. Despite those unresolved issues, Trump expressed confidence the agreement will move forward.

“It’s going to be back in the rear-view mirror,” he said.

The president also met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on the sidelines of the summit, signaling a renewed focus on the war in Ukraine after reports that Russia attacked a centuries-old monastery.

Meanwhile, back in the United States, the FBI announced that law enforcement agencies had foiled an alleged plot targeting a UFC event held on the White House lawn Sunday night. Authorities said five people were arrested and accused of planning an attack involving firearms and explosives-laden drones. Investigators say the intended targets included the crowd and President Trump.

The developments come as Trump seeks to shift attention from military conflict toward diplomatic solutions on the world stage.
