New York [US], September 23 (ANI): US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday (local time) that US special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner were part of the US team that met with mediators involved in talks on a deal with Iran.
He said the meeting had lasted for three hours and described it as a "very good meeting."
Speaking during his bilateral meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Trump said, "The meeting went very well. It ended an hour ago. It was a meeting that lasted for three hours...It was a very good meeting..."
"I can't imagine why they wouldn't want to do it... In one case, it's obliteration and the other alternative is potential greatness. It could be a great country,” he further said. 
Further, Trump suggested that his administration was considering a temporary ban on diesel exports when asked about Republican senators calling for the US to stop exporting diesel to allies.
"I've said, let's not send out the diesel. We make a lot of diesel. It could have a little bit of an effect on regular automobile gasoline...I've called for it within my people. I've been talking about it," Trump said.
US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the administration was examining the feasibility of such a ban.
