Iran agrees to roll back nuclear programme

Trump said the agreement to end the war is "almost complete". According to him, talks on a long-term deal will likely take place this weekend.

"Most of the main points are finalized. It’ll go pretty quickly," the White House chief said.

In addition, Trump denied that the moratorium on Iran’s nuclear programme would end in 20 years. Asked whether the programme would be ended completely, Trump replied: "Not for years, but indefinitely."
