Significant progress, although not final progress, has been made.

I\u2019m always cautious when I say that because you can agree to things on paper; they actually have to be implemented. You can agree to things in writing, and then you actually have to go out and do it.<\/p>\n<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<header class=\"css-jgknzh\">\n<div class=\"css-1gn3fip\">\n<div class=\"css-p5izi2\">\n<div class=\"css-1h4tnhd\"><nyt-betamax class=\"css-j5i4vc\"><template shadowrootmode=\"open\" slotassignment=\"named\"><link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"https:\/\/static01.nyt.com\/video-static\/betamax\/player-0.2.48-CnxAEwcy.css\" crossorigin=\"\"\/><\/template><nyt-betamax-cover><template shadowrootmode=\"open\" slotassignment=\"named\"><link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"https:\/\/static01.nyt.com\/video-static\/betamax\/cover-0.2.48-eTrf0IGY.css\" crossorigin=\"\"\/><\/template><nyt-betamax-poster><template shadowrootmode=\"open\" slotassignment=\"named\"><link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"https:\/\/static01.nyt.com\/video-static\/betamax\/poster-0.2.48-BdueiXaE.css\" crossorigin=\"\"\/><img alt=\"Secretary of State Marco Rubio boarding a helicopter.\" data-testid=\"betamax-poster\"   fetchpriority=\"high\" class=\"_poster_13tnt_20\"\/><\/template><\/nyt-betamax-poster><\/nyt-betamax-cover><nyt-betamax-overlay-controls><template shadowrootmode=\"open\" slotassignment=\"named\"><link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"https:\/\/static01.nyt.com\/video-static\/betamax\/overlay-controls-0.2.48-BN-qu2gk.css\" crossorigin=\"\"\/><link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"https:\/\/static01.nyt.com\/video-static\/betamax\/share-button-0.2.48-Dk6TOAo1.css\" crossorigin=\"\"\/><\/template><\/nyt-betamax-overlay-controls><nyt-betamax-ads><template shadowrootmode=\"open\" slotassignment=\"named\"><link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"https:\/\/static01.nyt.com\/video-static\/betamax\/ads-0.2.48-C_YVzzUG.css\" crossorigin=\"\"\/><\/template><\/nyt-betamax-ads><\/nyt-betamax><\/div>\n<div class=\"css-1msb6m0\"><span class=\"css-hple31\">Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the Trump administration made \u201csignificant progress\u201d toward a deal with Iran.
