US, Iran to meet next week: Trump

US and Iranian officials are set to meet next week in an attempt to refuel the nuclear negotiations between the two sides, President Donald Trump said.

The meeting comes as the ceasefire between Israel and Iran has been holding, with Trump having brokered the truce.

"We may sign an agreement, I don't know," Trump told reporters.

"The way I look at it, they fought, the war is done."

Iran has not acknowledged talks taking place next week, although Trump's Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff said there had been contact between the countries.
