US President Donald Trump had a “productive discussion” with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Iran and the shooting of two Israeli embassy staffers in Washington, the White House said.
“They discussed many things, including, of course, the tragic shooting that took place here in Washington, D.C., last night. But they also talked about the potential deal with Iran, which the president believes is moving in the right direction,” White House press secretary Caroline Leavitt said during the briefing.
She said Trump believes that “the agreement with Iran could end in two ways. It could end in a very positive diplomatic solution, or it could end in a very negative situation for Iran.”
Iran and the United States are due to hold a new round of talks in Rome later this week.
