President Trump has indicated he does not want to extend the ceasefire, hoping instead for a permanent solution.

“I don’t want to do that. We don’t have that much time,” Mr. Trump told CNBC about extending the two-week ceasefire, which he has said will end Wednesday. “Iran can get themselves on a very good footing if they make a deal. They can make themselves into a strong nation again, a wonderful nation again.”
