Donald Trump said on Thursday the United States was “very close” to reaching a deal with Iran over its nuclear programme and suggested he could travel to Islamabad if an agreement were signed there, praising Pakistan’s leadership for facilitating the talks.

Speaking to reporters at the White House before departing for a trip to Las Vegas, Trump said Tehran had agreed to hand over its stockpile of enriched uranium, a key sticking point in negotiations aimed at preventing Iran from developing nuclear weapons.

“We’re very close to making a deal with Iran,” Trump said. “We had to make sure that Iran never gets a nuclear weapon… They’ve totally agreed to that. They’ve agreed to almost everything.”

Asked whether he might travel to Pakistan if a deal were finalised there, Trump replied: “I might go, yeah. If the deal is signed in Islamabad, I might go.”

Trump also praised Shehbaz Sharif and Asim Munir for their role in facilitating contacts between Washington and Tehran, describing their efforts as “really great.”

The comments came after JD Vance led a U.S. delegation to Islamabad last weekend for talks with Iranian officials that ended without a breakthrough. The White House said discussions were under way about holding a second round of negotiations, likely again in Pakistan.

Trump added that Iran had agreed to transfer its enriched uranium stockpile—referred to by him as “nuclear dust”—though he provided no details about the scope or timeline of such an arrangement. U.S. officials have long said Iran’s enriched uranium reserves could potentially be used to produce nuclear weapons if not restricted under a new agreement.
