President Donald Trump said Wednesday that negotiations with Iran are moving ahead positively, and he floated the possibility of a new update over the weekend. The brief remarks came during a press appearance, though Trump offered no specifics on what the update might contain.
What the president said
Trump described the talks as “progressing well,” signaling optimism about the diplomatic track. When pressed for details, he declined to elaborate but added that there might be news by Saturday or Sunday. The White House did not confirm whether the update would be a formal statement or a press conference.
No new details released
The administration has kept the details of the negotiations close. Trump’s comment is the latest indication that both sides are still talking, even as the U.S. maintains sanctions on Tehran. There were no immediate reports of a breakthrough from Iranian officials.
What to watch for
With the president hinting at a weekend announcement, the next few days could clarify whether the talks are headed toward a framework agreement or another round of talks. For now, the only firm development is Trump’s own promise to follow up soon.
