Trump: CNBC debate will be two hours

This post has been updated

It sounds like CNBC, Donald Trump and other Republicans have resolved their problems over the next GOP presidential debate.

"@CNBC has just agreed that the debate will be TWO HOURS," Trump tweeted Friday. "Fantastic news for all, especially the millions of people who will be watching!"

The New York Times reported that Republican National Committee officials reached out to senior GOP campaign aides on Friday to inform them that CNBC had decided to keep the debate to two hours, which will include commercials, and allow 30-second opening and closing statements.

Trump, Ben Carson, and other Republican candidates had raised the prospect of boycotting the Boulder, Colo., debate unless CNBC changed some of the rules -- namely the length and restrictions against opening and closing remarks.

Trump had accused CNBC of seeking a longer debate in order "to sell more commercials."
