US President Donald Trump ruled out the possibility of continuing negotiations with Iran anywhere other than in Islamabad.
“I am not interested in going to countries that have not helped“, he explained to ABC News, adding that a second round of negotiations could take place this weekend.
“Negotiations with Iran will continue throughout the weekend. Steve, Jared and possibly JD will go, I haven't spoken to JD about that yet," the American leader commented on the possible composition of the American delegation.
He assured that the United States would end the blockade of Iranian seaports as soon as the two sides reach an agreement to resolve the conflict.
“The blockade will end when the agreement is signed. Once the agreement is signed, the blockade will end“, Trump said in a brief conversation with reporters upon his arrival in Phoenix, Arizona.
According to the first person in Washington, most of the terms of a potential deal with Iran have already been agreed upon.
The president acknowledged that there may still be significant differences between the United States and Iran, but expressed confidence that they are few.
“There may be some - we'll see what happens. If there are any, we will have to resolve them. But I don't think there are many significant differences left," he added.
The US leader noted that US forces would remain in place "until the deal with Iran is fully agreed and signed." "That process needs to move quickly; most of the points are already agreed and agreed upon," he said.
In an interview with ABC, he said he was ready to trust Iran to abide by the terms of a peace agreement if one were signed. He also said Tehran "wants a deal" and argued that the US naval blockade had deprived the Islamic Republic of revenue.
