Washington may be on the verge of a diplomatic breakthrough with Tehran, as US President Donald Trump reportedly expects a deal to be sealed within days. Fox News correspondent Bret Baier revealed on Wednesday that he had spoken directly with the president, who expressed cautious hope regarding a memorandum of understanding between the two nations.

During a live news segment, Baier quoted Trump as saying: “He puts it at a week getting everything wrapped up.” The reporter added that the president is “cautiously optimistic” about the accord, which he believes will “lead to things.” The comments mark one of the most specific timelines Trump has offered on nuclear negotiations since returning to office.
