WASHINGTON:
US President Donald Trump told the New York Post on Tuesday that a second round of Iran talks could happen in Pakistan “over the next two days”, after a first round ended at the weekend without a deal.

“You should stay there, really, because something could be happening over the next two days, and we’re more inclined to go there,” Trump was quoted as saying in a phone interview with a Post reporter in Islamabad.

After saying in an initial call that talks were unlikely to return to Pakistan, the Post said Trump called back minutes later to say it was “more likely” they would go back to Islamabad because the country’s army chief Asim Munir “is doing a great job.”
