US President Donald Trump said Tuesday that a new round of direct talks with Iran could be held in Pakistan within the next two days. In remarks to the New York Post, Trump said discussions with Iran are already underway but are progressing “somewhat slowly,” adding that holding the next round in Pakistan is the most likely option.
He praised the role of Pakistan’s Army Chief Asim Munir in facilitating dialogue between the two sides, describing him as “a great person” and indicating that returning to Pakistan for further talks is highly probable.
Trump also denied media reports claiming that the United States had requested Iran to suspend its uranium enrichment programs for at least 20 years during last week’s talks in Pakistan.
He reiterated that Iran must not possess nuclear weapons, stressing that he does not accept any arrangement that would limit enrichment restrictions to a fixed period such as 20 years. – Kuna
