Trump says US-Iran talks will be behind closed doors

WASHINGTON, April 8 (Reuters) - ‌U.S. ​President ​Donald Trump on Wednesday said talks on the Iran crisis would ‌be held behind closed doors, and that "only ⁠one group of meaningful 'POINTS'" were acceptable to ‌the United States, but ‌gave no other details about the negotiations.

"These are the POINTS that are the ​basis on which we agreed to a CEASEFIRE. It is something that ⁠is reasonable, and can easily be dispensed with," he ​said in a social media post.

Trump separately told ABC News in an ​interview that he expects ‌talks to begin on Friday and to move very quickly.

Pakistan's Prime ⁠Minister Shehbaz Sharif earlier on Wednesday said U.S. and Iranian delegations would be arriving ⁠in Pakistan on Friday after the two nations ​accepted a two-week ceasefire.

Trump in his online post also threatened a federal probe into unnamed individuals ‌he accused--without providing evidence--of circulating various correspondence that he said were ‌not the basis for the ceasefire ⁠agreement.
