U.S. President Donald Trump announced on April 16 that he could travel to Islamabad to sign an agreement with Iran if negotiations reached a conclusion.
Trump stated: “If the deal is signed in Islamabad, I could very well go there.”
The president also noted that U.S. and Iranian parties are currently close to finalizing a deal, which he indicated could lead to lower oil prices and slower inflation should it be implemented.
Earlier on April 16, Trump allowed the existing U.S.-Iran agreement to expire, warning that military operations against Iran would resume if the deal was not concluded before the expiration of the ceasefire.
On April 15, Vice President Jay D. Vance confirmed that Trump intends to conclude a comprehensive agreement with Iran and emphasized that the White House is not pursuing a “small deal.” Vance stated that the United States would treat Iran economically “like a normal country” if Tehran expressed readiness to normalize relations.
