US President Donald Trump said that the United States had “very good” talks with Iran in the past 24 hours. “It is quite possible that we will reach an agreement,” he told reporters in the Oval Office of the White House.
“Everything is going well for us now and we should get what we should get,” Trump said of the negotiations. “If we don’t, we’re going to have to take a big step forward. But at the same time, they want to get a deal.”
The US President reiterated that Iran agreed to his main demand, which is to give up nuclear weapons. He added: “Iran cannot and will not possess nuclear weapons, and they have agreed to that.” However, as CNN noted, there is no other evidence that Tehran agreed to this condition.
