In the interview, published today, Trump stated, “I believe we will make a deal with Iran.”

When asked by Time whether he would be willing to meet with Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei or President Masoud Pezeshkian, Trump replied, “Of course.”

Negotiations at the expert level are scheduled to resume Saturday in Oman, which is acting as a mediator. On the same day, a third round of high-level discussions between officials is also expected.
