Earlier on Saturday, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who is currently in India, had signalled that the negotiations would yield a breakthrough in the weekend. While declining to predict an immediate outcome, he had indicated that developments could emerge sooner rather than later. “There might be news later today. There might not be. I hope there will be,” Rubio said. “I’m still not sure. Some progress has been made. Even as I’m speaking to you now, some work is being done. There’s a chance that maybe later today, tomorrow, or perhaps in a few more days, we’ll have something to say.”
