Trump says negotiations with Iran will continue without a deadline, stressing that talks are ongoing.

As journalists were leaving the Oval Office on Wednesday afternoon, one of them asked President Donald Trump whether there was a deadline for the talks with Iran.

“There is never a deadline,” the US president replied. “It will happen. It will happen. But there is never a deadline,” he added.

Extensions to talks and ceasefire

The United States had previously attempted to impose a time limit on the negotiations. However, it later proceeded to extend both the deadline and the ceasefire in order for talks to continue.

Too early for senior-level talks

Earlier on Wednesday, Trump told the New York Post that it is still too early to send senior US officials to the region for a new round of direct talks with Iran.
