U.S. President Donald Trump is scheduled to meet with Qatari Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani, a key mediator between the United States and Iran, at noon local time on Monday, according to the schedule released by the White House on Sunday.

The Qatari prime minister said Saturday that Qatar's mediation efforts between the United States and Iran continue, and the U.S. government is still willing to seek a solution to the Iran issue after the midterm elections.

Trump said Sunday that renewed military strikes on Iran were "highly unlikely" as long as negotiations made progress, adding that "it depends on whether or not they sign a very strong agreement."

Before his meeting with Trump, the Qatari prime minister is expected to meet with U.S. Vice President JD Vance, according to reports from Axios.

Vance has been involved in pushing for a new ceasefire agreement and the resumption of nuclear talks between the United States and Iran over the past two weeks, during which he spoke almost every day to Al Thani, said the reports.
