Following statements from Iran's foreign minister and the Tasnim News Agency that the negotiations were indirect, on April 9, a White House spokesperson emphasized that U.S. and Iranian officials would hold direct talks on Saturday.

"As for Saturday, I won't preempt the President's remarks. There will be direct talks with Iran on Saturday."

Subsequently, when asked by reporters to confirm, Leverett stated, "This will be direct negotiations."

White House spokesperson Leverett described the conflict between Musk and Navarro as a squabble between boys.

Reporter: "Musk and President Trump's trade advisor Navarro have publicly clashed over certain tariffs. Musk today called Navarro dumber than a bag of bricks. Is the administration, is the President concerned this could mislead public understanding of these rates?"

"Look, it's clearly two people with very different views on trade and tariffs. Boys will be boys, and we'll let their public disagreements continue. You should all be very grateful to have the most transparent administration in history. It also shows the President is willing to listen to all sides. And at the highest levels of the White House, members of this administration hold completely different views on various issues. But the President will consider all opinions and make the best decision based on the interests of the American public."
