Energy Secretary Chris Wright says the US “is not too far away from a deal”, Al Jazeera reports.
“There are negotiations with the Iranians going on despite what you hear in the chatter in public. I think those are actually going well,” Wright told Fox News.
Wright said Trump is “a creative negotiator” who uses “pressure in different ways, uses uncertainty in different ways”.
“I think we’ll have a nice end of this conflict,” Wright predicted, adding that restarting shipping “will take time but probably not too much time” once the strait is reopened.
