President Donald Trump said on Wednesday ​the United States was getting along ‌very well with Iran and that recent meetings in Qatar went well.

"The denuclearization of ​Iran is moving along well," Trump ​told reporters. "They've had very good meetings, and ⁠we'll see."

The US and Iran ​held technical talks in the Qatari capital of ​Doha on Wednesday as they seek to agree on the flow of shipping through the Strait ​of Hormuz and secure a lasting ​ceasefire, a source with direct knowledge of the talks ‌and ⁠an Iranian official said.

Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner and envoy Steve Witkoff met the prime minister of Qatar -- a mediator ​in the ​talks alongside ⁠Pakistan -- to lay groundwork for the negotiations, but would not be ​attending the discussions themselves, the ​source ⁠with direct knowledge of the talks said.

"We're getting along very well," Trump said, adding ⁠Iran ​has "come a long way."

"I ​think they're fine," the president added.
