US President Donald Trump has said there is “no time pressure” surrounding the ceasefire, or agreeing to a new date for talks with Iran, reports Fox News.

He told Fox News reports about three- to five-day window for the ceasefire extension were “false”.

Asked when the war might end, he said there was “no time frame” and no rush.

“People say I want to get it over because of the midterms, not true,” he said, adding that his administration wanted to “get a good deal for the American people.”

Trump also said Iranian Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghachi was a smart man and that he expected “he will still be there when talks get under way again”.
