BlockBeats News, May 22, according to Xinhua News Agency, U.S. Secretary of State Pompeo said on the 21st that the U.S. has made some progress in its negotiations with Iran, but he could not guarantee that an agreement would be reached. He also stated that if a "good deal" could not be reached, "everyone is clear" about what other options the U.S. has.

Pompeo traveled from Miami, Florida to Sweden on the same day to attend a NATO foreign ministers meeting. Speaking to the media at the airport, he said that U.S. President Trump's primary desire is to reach a "good deal," and the U.S. "will do everything possible to achieve this goal." However, the President has also made it clear that if a good deal cannot be reached, he has other backup plans.

Pompeo said that although there have been some positive signs, he does not want to appear overly optimistic. "So, let's see what happens in the next few days."
