President Trump says he could travel to Pakistan if a peace deal is reached with Iran.

This after he said more peace talks could happen in Pakistan in the coming days.

And here's Daniel Kurtzleben has more.

Speaking next to the Marine One helicopter on the White House lawn,

Trump told reporters he would

be willing to travel to Islamabad to seal a peace deal. I would go to Pakistan. Pakistan has been

great. They've been so good. Islamabad, I might go. Yeah. If the deal is signed in Islamabad, I might go.

Peace talks in Islamabad last weekend yielded no deal between the U.S. and Iran.

On Wednesday, Trump told the New York Post that more peace talks in Pakistan could be coming

yet this week, but the White House has provided no further information.

Trump has now left Washington for an economic roundtable in Nevada, followed by a

Turning Point USA event in Arizona on Friday.
