Trump says not thinking about extending ceasefire with Iran
WASHINGTON, April 14 (Xinhua) -- U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that he wasn't thinking about extending the ceasefire with Iran.
In an interview with ABC News, Trump said he didn't think it would be necessary to extend the truce.
Claiming that there are "amazing two days ahead," Trump said that he prefers a deal to end the war so that Iran could begin the rebuilding process.
"They (Iran) really do have a different regime now," he said. "We took out the radicals."
Earlier in the day, Trump told FOX News that the war against Iran is "very close" to completion, and that Iran wants to make a deal "very badly."
A two-week ceasefire between Iran and the United States took effect on Wednesday, followed by lengthy talks between the Iranian and U.S. delegations in Islamabad, which failed to lead to an agreement.
