President Trump tells reporters talks with Iran, Russia and Ukraine are 'going okay'

President Trump, while aboard Air Force One, told reporters that talks with Iran, as well as with Russia Ukraine, are "going okay." Trump was headed to Miami, Florida, for a UFC fight on Saturday night. He was accompanied by Elon Musk and his son.

The White House had put out a statement earlier in the day saying that talks with Iran had been 'constructive,' and there would be another meeting next week.

The meeting between U.S. Special Envoy Steven Witkoff and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi was the first face-to-face exchange since President Donald Trump returned to office as Iran continues to expand its nuclear program.

Witkoff, joined by U.S. Ambassador to Oman Ana Escrogima, told Araghchi Trump had personally instructed him to try to resolve differences through diplomacy, if possible.

The White House described the discussions as "very positive and constructive," adding, "the United States deeply thanks the Sultanate of Oman for its support of this initiative."

The talks took place on the outskirts of Oman’s capital, Muscat, and lasted just over two hours. Omani Foreign Minister Said Badr hosted the meeting.

Iranian state TV later confirmed the sides exchanged several rounds of messages, and there was a short, direct conversation between the American and Iranian diplomats.
