U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday said there have been talks between the United States and Iran over the past day in which the two sides had "major points of agreement," adding that a deal could be done soon to settle the war, APA reports citing Reuters.
Trump said his Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff and close aide and son-in-law Jared Kushner talked to the Iranians on Sunday and that discussions would continue on Monday.
"We have had very, very strong talks. We'll see where they lead. We have points, major points of agreement, I would say, almost all points of agreement ... we've had very strong talks, Mr. Witkoff and Mr. Kushner had them," Trump told reporters in Florida.
In comments later in Memphis, Tennessee, he played up the chances of a deal. "With Iran, we've been negotiating for a long time, and this time, they mean business," Trump said.
"We're giving it five days, and then we're going to see where that takes us. And I would say at the end of this period, I think it could very well end up being a very good deal for everybody."
He declined to say who the United States was speaking with in Iran, but said it was not Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei. Trump said Iran "had some leaders left."
"We're dealing with the man who I believe is the most respected and the leader," Trump said.
