(FOX NEWS) – President Trump said Friday the U.S. is “very close” to reaching a deal with Iran, telling Agence France-Presse (AFP) there are “no sticking points” remaining between the two sides.

“We’re very close. Looks like it’s going to be very good for everybody. And we’re very close to having a deal,” Trump told AFP. “… The strait’s going to be open, they already are open. And things are going very well.”

In a separate interview with CBS, Trump said Iran has “agreed to everything” and will cooperate with the U.S. to remove enriched uranium from the country.

The comments come after Trump touted Iran’s promise to reopen the Strait of Hormuz following tensions that had driven up oil prices.
