"It looks like Iran is very keen to make a deal," the president told reporters aboard Air Force One.
At the same time, he warned of “serious consequences” if the country does not agree on a new agreement on its nuclear energy program. According to Trump, the parties will meet again “early next week.”
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told Iranian state television after Friday's negotiations that it was "a very good start."
Just hours after the talks began, the United States announced that it had imposed new sanctions on Iran and its oil industry, including 14 ships in Iran's oil fleet.
Oman also acted as a mediator between Iran and the United States during last year's nuclear talks. Those negotiations were abruptly interrupted in June after the United States sided with Israel in the twelve-day war against Iran.
