WASHINGTON, April ​16 (Reuters) - ​U.S. President Donald Trump said on Thursday that if ‌a deal with Iran to conclude ⁠the war is reached and signed in ‌Islamabad, he might go, ‌and that Iran has agreed to almost everything.

Trump struck an optimistic ​tone about Iran as he spoke with reporters on the White ⁠House lawn on his way to a trip to ​Nevada and Arizona. He said he could extend a U.S.-Iran ​ceasefire set to expire ‌next week, but may not need to do so.

"If ⁠a deal is signed in Islamabad I may go," Trump said. "They want me."

He ⁠also said without providing evidence that Iran ​has agreed to give up the enriched uranium believed buried from U.S.-Israeli airstrikes last year. ‌Trump is pushing for a deal with Iran in ‌which Tehran would give up its ⁠nuclear program.
