Talks between the US and Iran could restart “in the next two days”, Donald Trump has said, in an interview with the New York Post., external
The paper said that, in an initial phone interview, the US president said discussions were “happening, but, you know, a little bit slow” – before indicating more talks could happen in Europe.
About half an hour later, the paper says, Trump called their reporter back.
“You should stay there [Islamabad, where talks previously happened], really, because something could be happening over the next two days, and we’re more inclined to go there,” he said.
“It’s more likely, you know why? Because the field marshal is doing a great job.”
Trump was referring to Pakistan Field Marshal Gen Asim Munir – who he has previously called his “favourite”.
