The United States had never had meetings at that level with the Iranian government in 49 years.

Like, it's a meeting that had never before happened, not Democrat, not Republican.

We had never had a meeting like that.

After 49 years, there's a lot of, of course, mistrust between Iran and the United States of America.

You're not going to solve that problem overnight.

But, yeah, I think the people we're sitting across from wanted to make a deal,

and I know the President of the United States told us to go out there and negotiate in good faith.

That's what we did. That's what we're going to keep on doing.

But the reason why the deal is not yet done is because the President, he really wants a deal

where Iran doesn't have a nuclear weapon, Iran is not state-sponsoring terrorism,

but also the people of Iran can thrive and prosper and join the world economy.
