Trump sees Iran talks headed in right direction, White House says

"The president believes (US-Iran negotiation) is moving along in the right direction," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters on Thursday.

"As the president told me, and he's told all of you, this deal with Iran could end in two ways: it could end in a very positive diplomatic solution, or it could end in a very negative situation for Iran. So that's why these talks are taking place later this week."
