[Trump Says Negotiations with Iran Are Being Conducted via Phone] According to Golden Finance, on April 30, U.S. President Trump stated on the 29th that the United States is negotiating with Iran via phone, while emphasizing that Iran must make a clear commitment to completely abandon nuclear weapons. Speaking to the media in the Oval Office of the White House that day, Trump said that the U.S. and Iran have been in dialogue and are now communicating by phone, 'no longer like before, where every time we wanted to review a document, we had to fly 18 hours for a meeting.' He said this method is very convenient: 'I make a call, or have my people make one, and we can get an answer within 15 minutes,' though he added, 'I have always preferred face-to-face communication.' Trump noted that some progress has been made in the negotiations, but the issue lies in whether Iran's concessions can meet U.S. demands. 'As of now, unless they make a clear commitment to completely abandon nuclear weapons, there is absolutely no possibility of reaching any agreement between the two sides.' (Xinhua News Agency)
