Trump says he may go to Islamabad if Iran deal reached
· The Straits Times- Donald Trump stated he might attend an Iran deal signing in Islamabad if it occurs.
- Trump claims Iran has conceded to almost everything, including surrendering enriched uranium.
- He may extend the US-Iran ceasefire, dependent on deal progress and Iran's desires.
WASHINGTON - US President Donald Trump said on April 16 that if a deal with Iran to conclude the war is reached and signed in Islamabad, he might go, and that Iran has agreed to almost everything.
Mr Trump struck an optimistic tone about Iran as he spoke with reporters on the White House lawn on his way to a trip to Nevada and Arizona.
He said he could extend a US-Iran ceasefire set to expire next week, but may not need to do so.
“If a deal is signed in Islamabad I may go,” Mr Trump said. “They want me.”
He also said without providing evidence that Iran has agreed to give up the enriched uranium believed buried from US-Israeli airstrikes in 2025.
