SEOUL, April 15 (AJP) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday hinted at additional peace talks between the U.S. and Iran could take place in Pakistan within the next few days.
Trump said in an interview with The New York Post, "You should stay there, really, because something could be happening over the next two days."
"We are more inclined to go there. It's more likely, you know why? Because the field marshal is doing a great job," he added, referring to Pakistan's field marshal Asim Munir, one of the key negotiators pushing talks between the two countries.
His remarks suggest the two sides may soon meet again in Islamabad, Pakistan after the first round of talks ended without a deal last weekend.
Among the key issues is the U.S. demand that Iran should not have nuclear weapons at all, as Trump earlier said he was "not happy" with reports that Washington had called on Tehran to suspend uranium enrichment for two decades during marathon talks in Islamabad last Saturday and Sunday.
"I've been saying they can't have nuclear weapons" he said, "So I don't like the 20 years."
As Trump has increased pressure on Iran by imposing a naval blockade on its ports in the Strait of Hormuz, it remains uncertain whether both sides can narrow their differences and reach a breakthrough before their two-week ceasefire expires on April 22.
