Talks with Iran 'going OK,': Trump

WASHINGTON

US President Donald Trump said Saturday that talks with Iran are "going OK."

“I think they’re going OK. Nothing matters until you get it done. So, I don’t like talking about it," Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One.

His remarks came after US presidential envoy Steven Witkoff, accompanied by US Ambassador to Oman Ana Escrogima, held talks Saturday in Oman with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi.

The White House said earlier that the talks were "very positive and constructive.”

Witkoff told Araghchi that he had instructions from Trump "to resolve our two nations’ differences through dialogue and diplomacy, if that is possible," according to the White House.

"These issues are very complicated, and Special Envoy Witkoff’s direct communication today was a step forward in achieving a mutually beneficial outcome," it said in a statement.

The sides agreed to meet next Saturday, it added.
