According to the website AXIOS, the US and Iran delegations held multiple rounds of talks in various forms during the meeting that started on Saturday and lasted until early Sunday local time. Wangs said that the US negotiating team had at least six phone calls with President Trump that day, as well as communications with Secretary of State Pompeo, Defense Secretary Haggis, Treasury Secretary Bennett, and CENTCOM Commander General Cooper. The report stated that no one expected a final agreement to be reached on Saturday but the US side hoped to maintain enough momentum in the negotiations, even if it meant extending the ceasefire deadline. Wangs' brief remarks did not convey this optimistic sentiment, but he did not indicate that the US would withdraw from the talks. Wangs said, "We leave a very simple plan here, this is a way to reach understanding, it is our ultimate and best plan. We will see if Iran accepts it."
