White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt says US President Donald Trump has discussed a proposal sent by Iran with his national security team.

“The president’s red lines, with respect to Iran have been made very, very clear, not just to the American public but to them as well,” she tells reporters during a press briefing.

“I wouldn’t say they’re considering it, I would just say that there was a discussion this morning that I don’t want to get ahead of,” she adds, noting that Trump would address the topic “very soon”.
