President Donald Trump said Wednesday that the 60-day limit to end the conflict in the Middle East that was listed in the U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding is not a "hard" deadline and he would be open to extending it if Iran is serious about negotiations.
The memorandum, which was signed digitally over the weekend but is expected to be signed formally on Friday, said both sides have committed to “negotiating and achieving the final deal in a maximum 60 days, extended with mutual consent.”
Trump told reporters that he did not view the 60 day limit as the final deadline and downplayed the agreement as preliminary, according to The Hill.
