US Vice President J. Dee Vance said at Joint Base Andrews, referring to the recent talks with Tehran: "We had some good talks with the Iranians, and I talked to the President of the United States about an hour ago about this. "Both the president and I feel very positive about the chance of reaching a negotiated settlement, and we will continue to act in the impossible direction of Tehran." Emphasizing that Donald Trump still kept "military and civilian options" for himself, Vance added: "We have definitely made progress and it remains to be seen if we can make more progress."
