US President Donald Trump reportedly sent his envoys to consult nuclear experts for negotiations with Tehran amid stalled talks with Iran and mounting domestic pressure to end the war in West Asia.
Trump's envoys, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, travelled to the national lab in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, on Thursday for consultations with a team of technical experts who could play a role in nuclear negotiations with Iran, Axios reported.
The report said the Trump administration wants experts at the ready should those talks be launched, with a team of roughly 100 experts established to participate in nuclear negotiations should a preliminary deal with Iran be reached.
The meeting in Oak Ridge doesn't mean that a deal is going to happen, but it is a sign that the negotiations are in a very serious phase and that there is a good chance to get it done, and we want to be prepared, a US official quoted in the report said.
