President Donald Trump said Tuesday that new U.S.-Iran peace talks could take place within days in Pakistan, signaling a possible restart of negotiations after recent high-level meetings ended without a breakthrough.

“You should stay there, really, because something could be happening over the next two days,” Trump told the New York Post. “We’re more inclined to go there.”

Trump pointed to his relationship with Pakistan’s Field Marshal Gen. Asim Munir as a key reason for choosing Islamabad as a potential venue.

“He’s fantastic … the field marshal is doing a great job,” Trump said, adding, “Why should we go to some country that has nothing to do with it?”

Reuters also reported that U.S. and Iranian negotiating teams could return to Islamabad as early as later this week, though no final date has been set. Pakistan is reportedly coordinating with both sides on timing, with another round of talks likely over the weekend.

The recent meeting in Pakistan’s capital marked the first direct talks between U.S. and Iranian officials in more than a decade, and the highest-level engagement since Iran’s 1979 Islamic Revolution.

Despite renewed contact, major differences remain.

According to reports, Iran has offered to suspend uranium enrichment for up to five years, but the Trump administration rejected the proposal, citing concerns over the duration and terms of any agreement. The U.S. called for a much longer suspension of about 20 years.

Both sides have exchanged proposals, but officials say a significant gap still exists as efforts continue to revive negotiations.
