The journalist reported on social media that President Trump himself has expressed hope for “good news” in relation to the talks, suggesting that formal negotiations could resume on Friday.

Pakistani sources have also supported this development, stating that a process of diplomatic thaw between the two countries has already begun and that Friday could prove to be a decisive moment. Analysts believe that if the talks do take place, they could improve not only the situation in the Middle East but also global economic and security conditions.
It is worth noting that the White House had previously denied any firm deadline for negotiations. However, the latest remarks from President Trump and active diplomatic engagement from Pakistani sources have once again raised strong expectations of a return to the negotiating table.
