WASHINGTON, July 24 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump said on Friday that the United States and Iran were in talks to negotiate an end to their conflict, but repeated that Tehran was not yet ready for a deal.

"We are talking to them. I think they're being serious. I think ... they are being by far the most serious that we've seen them, but that doesn't mean we get there. We'll see what happens," Trump said in remarks to reporters at the White House.
