Iran-US tensions live updates: US President Donald Trump has indicated he would give negotiators more time to reach a deal to avert another war in the Middle East.
Iran-US tensions live updates: The deadline set by US President Donald Trump for Iran to reach a deal with the US on its nuclear programme is nearing its end in a few days. However, the stalemate continues despite the progress in talks at Geneva that were held on Thursday.
Amid the nearing deadline, Trump has expressed disappointment with the latest talks over Iran’s nuclear programme but indicated he would give negotiators more time to reach a deal to avert another war in the Middle East.
“I’m not happy with the fact that they’re not willing to give us what we have to have. I’m not thrilled with that. We’ll see what happens. We’re talking later,” Trump said on Friday, the Associated Press reported.
“We’re not exactly happy with the way they’re negotiating. They cannot have nuclear weapons.”
While Trump is upset over the pace of talks and Iran’s response, Oman’s foreign minister Badr al-Busaidi, who has been mediating the talks, said that he felt a deal was within reach if the process could play out.
“If I was Preisdent Trump, my only advice is just to give those negotiators enough room, enough space to really close these remaining areas that we need to discuss and agree upon,” he said.
