US President Donald Trump on Wednesday dismissed speculation about imminent face-to-face peace negotiations with Iran or a possible visit to Pakistan, stating it was premature to consider such actions despite reports indicating progress toward a potential agreement framework.
In an interview with The New York Post, Trump was questioned about whether preparations should begin for renewed talks following reports that Washington and Tehran were close to reaching an initial understanding aimed at resolving their 67-day conflict.
Responding to whether a reporter should be sent back to Pakistan for possible negotiations, Trump replied, “I don’t think so. It’s too far. No, it’s too much.” He reiterated, “I think we’ll do it — it’s too far. No, it’s too much.”
These remarks followed media reports suggesting the US and Iran were nearing a one-page framework agreement designed to establish the foundation for broader nuclear discussions and efforts to reduce tensions.
Previously, Trump had expressed willingness to travel to Pakistan for a potential deal-signing event, but on Wednesday he indicated that talks had not advanced to that stage, stating, “We’re not there yet.”
The White House has not officially confirmed any breakthrough, and neither Iranian nor American officials have publicly announced an agreement on any framework.
These developments occur amid ongoing diplomatic efforts involving regional players, including Pakistan, which some reports have described as acting as a mediator in backchannel communications.
Despite some outlets reporting signs of progress, Trump’s comments conveyed a cautious approach, tempering expectations of an immediate diplomatic resolution.
