Trump went on to say that the negotiations will begin this week, adding: “We will have to see whether a positive outcome is achieved or not.”

Regarding the venue of the talks, the US president stated: “I cannot disclose the location of these negotiations, but I can say that there will be more than one meeting.”

Continuation of Contradictory Statements by Trump

Trump also said yesterday in remarks at the White House: “We have sent large ships toward Iran, and at the same time, talks with this country are underway. We have to wait and see where this process leads.”

He added: “If we can reach an agreement, that would be great. But if that does not happen, unpleasant consequences may be expected.”

Preference for an Agreement Through Negotiations

The US president once again expressed his desire to reach an agreement through negotiations, saying: “I would like to see an agreement reached this way. In any case, I do not know whether this will happen or not.”
