WASHINGTON (Kashmir English): White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt has said that US President Donald Trump has not set a definitive period for the ceasefire with Iran.

Earlier, US media had claimed that President Trump extended the ceasefire with Iran not for an indefinite period but for 3 to 5 days.
