Morristown, New Jersey: President Donald Trump signaled optimism on Sunday regarding renewed diplomatic efforts between the United States and Iran, suggesting that negotiators made headway during weekend discussions aimed at curbing Tehran’s nuclear ambitions.
Speaking to reporters at the Morristown, New Jersey, airport before departing for Washington, Trump said U.S. officials had “very good” talks with Iranian representatives.
