Trump announces the resumption of talks with Iran in Pakistan in the coming days. The stakes are high with Tehran’s nuclear program and the threat of a nuclear weapon.
US President Donald Trump said in an interview with the New York Post on Tuesday that negotiations with Iran in Pakistan could resume within the next two days. Reuters drew attention to it, TASR informs.
“You really should stay there because something could happen in the next two days and we’re more inclined to go there,” Trump said in a phone call with a New York Post reporter.
Recovery in Pakistan
At the same time, the head of the White House praised the work of the commander-in-chief of the Pakistani army, Asim Munir, in the role of mediator of the negotiations. “It’s fantastic, and that makes it more likely we’ll go back there,” Trump declared. “Why should we go to some country that has nothing to do with it?” he added.
The Reuters agency, citing four sources, reported earlier on Tuesday that the next round of negotiations between the United States and Iran should take place again this week in Islamabad.
Iran’s nuclear program
Last week’s talks in the Pakistani capital ended without an agreement after 21 hours. US Vice President JD Vance, who led the American delegation, refused to specify the details. He said only that the key issue was Iran’s nuclear program and that the US wanted Tehran to agree to abandon its alleged efforts to obtain a nuclear weapon.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said progress had been made on many issues during talks with the US, but he accused US negotiators of preventing an agreement with their “exaggerated demands and ever-changing attitude”.
