U.S. President Donald Trump said Thursday the United States and Iran will "probably, maybe" resume in-person talks over the weekend as efforts continue to reach a deal on ending the conflict.

"It's looking very good that we're going to make a deal with Iran and it's going to be a good deal, it's going to be a deal with no nuclear weapons," Trump told reporters at the White House. "We have a lot of agreement with Iran."

"Iran wants to make a deal and we're dealing very nicely with them. We've got to have no nuclear weapon ... that's a big factor," Trump claimed. "And they're willing to do things today that they weren't willing to do two months ago."

Trump said he would consider visiting Pakistan if a peace deal is reached between the United States and Iran to end the weekslong conflict.

He said he may not need to extend the current two-week ceasefire with Iran, which expires next week.

Meanwhile, Trump dismissed the reportedly U.S. 20-year timeline to suspend Iran's uranium enrichment.

"We have a statement, very powerful statement, that they will not have, beyond 20 years, that they will not have nuclear weapons," Trump said, "There's no 20-year limit."

He also claimed that Tehran has "agreed to give us back the nuclear dust that's way underground because of the attack we made with the B2 bombers," referring to Iran's enriched uranium.

However, Trump reiterated his threat to resume bombing if the talks fail.

"If there's no deal, fighting resumes," Trump said.

Iran has yet to respond to Trump's remarks.
