Trump says Iran talks going ‘very well’

US president Donald Trump said negotiations with Iran are going “very well” but declined to elaborate when asked by reporters after disembarking Air Force One on Sunday evening.

Trump’s brief comment comes as diplomatic exchanges between Washington and Tehran continue, with both sides reviewing proposals but key gaps still unresolved.

Hours before his comment, the US president announced a plan to help escort stranded ships out of the Strait of Hormuz.
