US President Donald Trump told CBS News that Washington and Tehran were “getting a lot closer” to reaching an agreement.

“Every day, it gets better and better,” he said.

Trump added that any potential deal would ensure Iran’s enriched uranium was “satisfactorily handled”, though he declined to elaborate further.

“I will only sign a deal where we get everything we want,” he said.
