When asked whether Iran had responded to the points, the US leader said the following:
They answered us on most of the points. Why shouldn't they? They agree with our plan. We asked for 15 points, and for the most part we're going to ask for a couple more points.

He also reported that Iran had transferred oil to the US, which will be shipped as early as Monday, to "prove the seriousness of its intentions."
And to prove their seriousness, they gave us all these boats. When I was talking about the gift four days ago, I said they gave me a gift, but I didn't feel like I had the right to say what it was. And it was eight plus two. Ten huge boats with oil. And today they gave us another gift. They gave us 20 boats with oil, the shipment of which will begin tomorrow.
Trump added that the US and Iran are having good talks, both direct and indirect. He believes the parties are achieving many "very important results."
Two regional sources told CNN that the Trump administration's proposed 15-point package includes restrictions on Iran's defense capabilities, an end to support for proxy forces and recognition of Israel's right to exist. Trump previously told CNN that Tehran had committed not to possess nuclear weapons.
Trump also said that the US had destroyed many long-sought targets in Iran, without specifying what those targets were.
