It is “too soon” to start planning face-to-face ceasefire talks with Iran, US President Donald Trump tells The New York Post amid reports that the two sides are close to reaching a deal to open the Strait of Hormuz and end the war.
Asked whether reporters should be sent to Islamabad to cover potential negotiations, Trump says, “I don’t think so.”
Trump says he is meeting with “his generals” now.
