US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said, "I believe there will be more news later today, and I will leave it to the president to address that." He said, "Progress has been made with our partners in the Gulf, perhaps not enough, but we are getting closer."Rubio added that "President Trump wants to reach a solution and he would prefer that the State Department lead. His commitment to preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons should not be underestimated, and it is ridiculous to think that such a president would agree to an agreement that would benefit Iran's military nuclear ambitions. There will be good news in the coming hours."
