The conflict with Iran is rapidly nearing an end, but the United States wants a long-term solution that takes its allies’ interests into account, U.S. President Donald Trump said at a press conference at the White House.
"We are seeing momentum toward the end of this conflict. I think it's going to be ending fairly soon," Trump said.
His comments followed a closed-door meeting with U.S. Vice President JD Vance and Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani.
“Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait and others would prefer the status quo, that we remain as is,” Trump said.
The U.S. leader also gave a positive assessment of the progress of talks between the U.S. and Iran, noting that there was a good chance they could lead to an end to the conflict between the two countries.
"They are talking to us, and they're talking very politely. We will see what happens. But there's a good chance that that could get ended...We want to make sure it's a long-term solution, not just a short term," Trump said.
