Trump has mused on resuming full-scale strikes on Iranian targets but in an interview on Sunday he said he expects negotiations to restart
3-MIN READ3-MIN ListenAgence France-PressePublished: 3:16am, 28 Sep 2026US President Donald Trump said on Sunday that he expects talks with Iran to resume in the coming week, despite his rejection of a truce proposal put forward by Tehran.
Iranian officials brought with them to the UN General Assembly in New York a plan for a seven-day truce followed by the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz shipping channel.
Trump dismissed the plan and has mused on resuming full-scale air strikes on Iranian targets but he told the news platform Axios that he expects negotiations to resume.
“They want to make a deal but it is not the deal that I want to make,” Trump told Axios. “It is what we would have maybe agreed to a year ago.”
