US says Trump will only accept an Iran deal that 'puts America first'

"President Trump has a proven track record of achieving good deals on behalf of the United States and the American people, and he will only accept one that puts America first," White House Deputy Press Secretary Anna Kelly said on Friday.

"The President is optimistic that a deal can be reached that can lead to lasting peace in the Middle East," Kelly said in a statement ahead of Saturday talks with Iran in Pakistan.

The White House deputy press secretary said the US delegation to Islamabad will include Vice-President JD Vance, Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, and Jared Kushner and they will be supported by officials from the National Security Council, the State Department and the War Department.
