WASHINGTON: President Donald Trump said on Wednesday (June 24) that Iran is making very big concessions in initial peace talks with the United States.
"We're winning by a lot. Iran is making very big concessions. We'll see what happens," Trump told reporters.
The two sides, trying to build on the interim deal they signed last week, agreed a roadmap towards a permanent agreement within 60 days at the talks in the Qatari-owned Swiss mountain resort of Buergenstock, mediators Pakistan and Qatar said.
The United States waived sanctions on Iran for 60 days from Monday after the first talks under a nascent peace deal, while officials reported a sustained lull in fighting in Lebanon under the agreement aimed at ending hostilities across the region.
Trump made the comments during an unusual visit to lobby his fellow Republicans into passing a long-stalled package of national voting restrictions.
