“As the president of the United States said, if the Iranians are willing to negotiate in good faith, we’re certainly willing to extend the open hand. If they’re going to try to play us, then they’re going to find the negotiating team is not that receptive,” he said.

“So we’re going to try to have a positive negotiation. The president gave us some pretty clear guidelines, and we’re going to see.”
