U.S. President Donald Trump has once again stated that an agreement on the situation in the Middle East is imminent. Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One en route from New York to Washington, he indicated that the negotiation process is in its final stage. > “We are on the home stretch to achieving a very, very good agreement,” said the head of the White House. In response to a question about possible timelines, Trump clarified that it is not a matter of weeks, but likely a matter of days. In his estimation, it may take another “two or three days” to reach an agreement. The statement comes amid ongoing contacts between the U.S. and Iran, which Washington views as an important part of efforts to reduce tensions in the region. For the international community, any signs of progress are particularly significant, as the situation in the Middle East directly affects security issues, energy markets, and the global economy. At the same time, Trump has made similar statements before. In recent months, the American president has repeatedly spoken about the imminent success of negotiations with Iran and the possibility of reaching an agreement in the near future. So far, none of the previously mentioned timelines have led to the signing of final agreements. Therefore, participants in the negotiation process and observers prefer to wait for concrete results. Whether the current forecasts will prove more accurate will become clear in the coming days.
