A senior State Department official told reporters en route to Switzerland that the schedule for Kerry’s trip was “extremely fluid” and that meetings were to begin Thursday morning. “We are focused on getting a political framework that addresses all of the major elements of a comprehensive deal done by the end of March,” the official said, according to a transcript released by the department.
“I think we would say we made more progress in the last round than we have made in the previous rounds,” the official added, saying that “we can see a path forward here to get to an agreement.”
