Trump: May go to Pakistan if deal with Iran clinched
US President Donald Trump

US President Donald Trump said Thursday that if a deal with Iran to conclude the war is reached and signed in Islamabad, he may go, and that Iran has agreed to almost everything.Trump struck an optimistic tone about Iran as he spoke with reporters. 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,” Trump said, praising Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif and army chief Asim Munir. “They’ve been great.” It would be the first visit by a sitting US president to Pakistan since George W Bush in March 2006.Trump also said without providing evidence that Iran has agreed to give up the enriched uranium believed buried from US-Israeli airstrikes last year. Trump is pushing for a deal in which Tehran would give up its N-program. The deal would also include “free oil” and an opening of the Strait of Hormuz, he added. Tehran has not publicly confirmed it’s made those concessions.This is a Reuters story
