President Donald Trump said the United States and Iran are close to reaching an agreement, with a signing possible within days, according to multiple news outlets covering the negotiations.

Trump said a deal could come this weekend, according to The Associated Press. The administration said a signing was likely in the coming days but was not "100%" certain, according to CNBC. The Hill reported that Trump announced what he described as a "great settlement" on Iran, while details had not been released publicly.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said an agreement with the United States had "never been closer," according to Axios and Breitbart. Pakistan's prime minister said a final text had been agreed, according to Breitbart. HuffPost, citing Reuters, reported that a memorandum could be signed Sunday in Geneva.

Fox News reported that Trump said the deal was nearly complete and that he canceled planned strikes against Tehran. CBS News also reported that Trump called off strikes as progress continued toward an agreement.

The New York Times reported that, with a deal appearing close, the United States faced an Iran more willing to withstand pressure. The Times of Israel reported that Iran was said to have mined the entrance to a bombed site to deter a raid on enriched uranium.

The United Arab Emirates denied what it described as "false" reports of a fund transfer to Iran, according to CNBC. The report did not specify the origin of the claims the UAE denied.

Axios reported that the pending agreement presented difficulties for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The Atlantic reported that the United States and Iran might reach a deal.

The Associated Press reported that world shares rose following gains on Wall Street, which it attributed to expectations of an end to the conflict. The Associated Press also reported that Trump addressed the negotiations ahead of the Group of Seven summit.

The specific terms of any agreement had not been published as of the reporting. Officials cited by CNBC said the signing was not certain. The negotiations and timing remained subject to change, according to the outlets covering the talks.
