WASHINGTON, April 13 (Xinhua) -- U.S. President Donald Trump said his administration received a call from Iran on Monday morning, claiming that Tehran "would like to make a deal very badly" but also signaling Washington's eagerness to reach a deal to end the conflict.
Trump did not reveal whether Washington has agreed to another round of talks before the ceasefire expires on April 21, though multiple U.S. media outlets, citing U.S. officials and regional sources, said both Washington and Tehran leave room for further talks.
"We've been called by the other side," Trump told reporters at the White House. "They'd like to make a deal very badly."
If a deal is not reached with Iran to end the war by the end of the ceasefire, "it won't be pleasant for them," Trump threatened. ■
