WASHINGTON, May ⁠28 (Reuters) - The U.S. and ⁠Iran have reached agreement on ‌a memorandum of understanding to extend their ceasefire for 60 days ​but President Donald ⁠Trump has yet ⁠to approve it, a source ⁠familiar with ‌the matter told Reuters.

The news was ⁠first reported by Axios.

The Trump ​administration ‌has several times said that ⁠a deal ​to still the fighting was close only to ⁠have Iran dispute or ​downplay the claims.

In recent days, Trump has come under pressure from ⁠Iran hawks in his own party, who have urged him not to make ​any agreement that ⁠fails to immediately address Iran's ​nuclear program.

The White ‌House declined to ​comment.
