President Donald Trump yesterday spoke with the Sultan of Oman about the next round of Iran talks scheduled for Saturday in Oman, the White House said.
White House Press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters Trump’s bottom line in the talks, which included an initial session last Saturday, is he wanted to use negotiations to ensure Iran does not obtain a nuclear weapon.
Trump and Omani leader Haitham bin Tariq Al Said also discussed ongoing US operations against Yemen’s Houthis, she said.
“The maximum pressure campaign on Iran continues,” Leavitt said at a Press briefing. “The president has made it clear he wants to see dialogue and discussion with Iran, while making his directive about Iran never being able to obtain a nuclear weapon quite clear.”
She added that he had “emphasised” this directive during the call with Sultan Haitham.
Both sides described last weekend’s US-Iran talks in Oman as positive.
