It's incredible how weak and selfish Trump actually is. There's zero reason to negotiate anything with Iran. Israel has overwhelming firepower superiority over Iran – all Iran can do is hit Israeli civilian targets at random. Bomb them until they are forced to unconditionally surrender, or there just isn't a government left to surrender in the first place. I think what's really going on is Trump is pissed off that Israel was getting all the credit for a brilliant, overwhelming, military success. So he forced a ceasefire and negotiations to give himself a role. There's a high chance this leads to the death of millions of Israeli's through Iran successfully rebuilding their nuclear program. But Trump will probably be dead by then. Finally, give Israel the $6 billion in frozen funds to pay for rebuilding Israeli property destroyed by Iranian missiles. Zero reason to give Iran a penny. Heck, Israel hasn't even destroyed their oil and gas industry: they've still got plenty of revenue. Why do they need yet more billions? Ukraine would be a much better use of aid money.
