State Department points to president's public statement in denying uranium enrichment in Iran talks
Loading...
Summary
The State Department spokesperson said President Trump has made clear there will be no uranium enrichment and declined to discuss details of negotiation proposals, saying negotiation content is not for public parsing from the podium.
State Department spokesperson Sam said the one clear public fact about the reported Iran negotiations is President Trump's statement that there will be no uranium enrichment. "The president has made clear and is the final word... there will be no uranium enrichment," Sam said, and he declined to confirm or discuss reported proposals or negotiation submissions.
Sam said he would not comment on the negotiation process or speculate about details of a proposal. Reporters asked about reports that the U.S. had floated limited enrichment on a time-limited basis; Sam said he could not confirm details from those reports and emphasized that negotiations contain many elements that cannot be discussed publicly while they are ongoing.
When pressed about next rounds of talks, Sam said he had "no" specific details to provide and repeated that the administration's "maximum pressure campaign on Iran remains in full force."
