U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday told reporters at the G7 meetings in France that the memorandum of understanding with Iran states clearly that Iran will not have a nuclear weapon.
Trump said that he will release the text of the U.S.-Iran memorandum in a formal setting.
The president also said he likes the idea of sending the Iran deal to Congress for review, a request by some Republican lawmakers.
"I never thought about sending it, never even thought about it, but I will," Trump told reporters. "I will send it to Congress. I like the idea."
The U.S. deal with Iran is an agreement to hash out details in the coming weeks.
"I think it's going to go pretty quickly," Trump told reporters about the next phase of negotiations with Iran, stipulated with a 60-day deadline.
"Iran wants to get it done. They have to get back to business, and the relationship is now normalized, so I think it's going to go pretty quickly," Trump told reporters during his meeting with Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the president of the United Arab Emirates, on the sidelines of the G7.
"Could go faster, could take longer too, but it could go fast."

The United States has warned it fears a "rapid escalation" of hostilities in the Middle East, following Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia that struck the kingdom's capital for the first time in months.
The Saudi-led military coalition announced Sunday that it had intercepted a missile fired by Yemen's Houthi rebels toward Riyadh, where explosions were heard at dawn, the first such incident since hostilities resumed between the kingdom and the Iran-backed fighters.
A large plume of smoke was visible near Riyadh's main airport on Saturday after booms were heard and Saudi Arabia sent alerts overnight warning of potential danger around the capital, amid an escalation in attacks by Yemen's Houthi group.
