Asked about the possibility of extending a ceasefire with Iran, US President Donald Trump has said, “We’re doing very well, I can tell you. Maybe it’ll happen before then, I’m not sure it needs to be extended.

“Iran wants to make a deal, and we’re dealing very nicely with them,” he adds. “We’ve got to have no nuclear weapons — that’s a big factor — and they’re willing to do things today that they weren’t willing to do two months ago.”
