(Central News Agency, Washington, April 20, Comprehensive Foreign News) US President Trump announced earlier this month a two-week ceasefire with Iran, but the two sides have not reached a final agreement. If the ceasefire is not extended, April 21st will mark two weeks since Trump announced the ceasefire. As for the specific end time of the ceasefire, Reuters reports it is still uncertain.
Reuters reported that Trump announced a two-week ceasefire with Iran at 6:32 PM Eastern Time on April 7th (6:32 AM Taiwan Time on April 8th).
Although Trump did not explicitly state the specific expiration time of the ceasefire, April 21st will mark two weeks since his announcement.
If calculated by US time, the US-Iran ceasefire may expire on the evening of the 21st, while for Iran it would be the morning of the 22nd.
Last weekend, a reporter asked Trump if he would extend the ceasefire if a final agreement was not reached by the 22nd. Trump's answer was non-committal, but he stated that sanctions would continue and that he might have to start dropping bombs again. (Translator: Gao Zhaofen / Reviewer: Yang Zhaoyan) 1150420
