WASHINGTON : US President Donald Trump<\/span><\/span> has said that the recent ceasefire with Iran was arranged as a \u201cfavour\u201d to Pakistan and followed requests made by several other countries.<\/p>\n

Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One during his return from a state visit to China<\/span><\/span>, he said the decision was not one he personally supported.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe really did the ceasefire at the request of other nations, I would not have been in favour of it. We did it as a favour to Pakistan, they are terrific people, the field marshal, the prime minister,\u201d Trump said.<\/p>\n

He further stated that he would be open to a 20-year suspension of Iran\u2019s nuclear programme, while rejecting Tehran\u2019s latest proposal, calling it \u201cnot acceptable.\u201d<\/p>\n

The US president also criticised former President Joe Biden<\/span><\/span>, saying Biden had struck an \u201cextremely bad deal\u201d with Iran.<\/p>\n

Discussing his meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping<\/span><\/span>, Trump said the two leaders held detailed discussions on Taiwan, while noting that China remained firmly committed to its position on the issue.<\/p>\n

When asked about arms supplies to Taiwan, Trump gave an unclear response, saying the US \u201cmay provide weapons to Taiwan, and may not.\u201d<\/p>\n

On trade matters, he clarified that tariff issues were not discussed, but said China had agreed to purchase billions of dollars worth of US soybeans.<\/p>\n

Trump added that he reached broad understanding and consensus with the Chinese leadership on several key issues during the visit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
