US President Donald Trump has indicated possible progress in the ongoing conflict with Iran, but cautioned that the current ceasefire could end soon if upcoming talks fail. Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, Trump said there had been “some good news,” though he stopped short of giving details.

“We had some pretty good news 20 minutes ago, but it seems to be going very well in the Middle East with Iran,” he said. “You’ll hear about it… I just think it’s something that should happen.”
