Trump says he does not want to extend ceasefire with Iran

# President Donald Trump told CNBC in an interview on Tuesday that he ‌did not want to extend a ceasefire with Iran. He added the US  was in a strong negotiating position and would end up with what he called a great ⁠deal. Washington has expressed confidence that talks with Iran will go ahead in Pakistan, and a senior Iranian official said Tehran was ‌considering ⁠joining. With the prospect of last-ditch further peace talks still up in the air, Trump said the US would resume its attacks on Iran if ⁠a deal is not struck with Tehran soon.
