US President Donald Trump says the US has a “very good relationship” with Iran’s leaders, expressing confidence that an agreement will be reached.

“We’re close to a deal. Would I accept? Yeah, I would do that,” he tells reporters. “We’re close to a deal, we’re getting along very well with the new Iranian leaders. It really is a regime change; these are people that are a lot different than the people we were dealing with in the beginning.

“We have a very good relationship, and I think there is a very good chance we’re going to make a deal,” he adds.
