Trump noted that relations with Iran are evolving in a "much more professional and productive direction."

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu echoed these sentiments, stating that he and President Trump agreed that any final agreement must eliminate the nuclear threat, which involves dismantling Iran's nuclear enrichment facilities and removing enriched uranium from its territory. Netanyahu affirmed that both his and Trump's policy remains unchanged: Iran will not possess nuclear weapons.
