Trump had previously declared with regard to the current ceasefire: “As far as I’m concerned, it’s over.” It is a “pure waste of time” to “deal” with the leadership in Tehran. However, he will speak with US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner talk about negotiations with Tehran. “I will allow our wonderful negotiators to continue talking if they want, but I don’t see it,” Trump said.
