Trump suggested negotiations with Iran in Pakistan in the coming days

US President Donald Trump stated that negotiations with Iran could take place in Pakistan within the next two days. According to him, thanks to the mediation efforts of the Pakistani side, the chances of holding the meeting in that country are higher.

He made this statement to the New York Post.

"You really should stay there (in Pakistan), because something could happen in the next two days, and we are leaning toward going there," Donald Trump said. "It's more likely, you know why? Because the field marshal is doing a fantastic job," he added.

By "field marshal," the US president was referring to Pakistan's army chief Asim Munir — one of Pakistan's most influential military leaders. As media reported, before the ceasefire, it was he who conducted negotiations with Iran and the US, discussing the terms for a cessation of hostilities. "He's amazing, so the likelihood that we'll go back there is higher," Donald Trump said.

The last meeting between the Iranian and US delegations took place on April 11 in Islamabad. The sides were unable to reach an agreement on a nuclear deal or agree on navigation rules in the Strait of Hormuz. After that, the US announced a blockade of the maritime corridor. Reuters sources reported that negotiations could resume in Pakistan this week.
