Trump leans into Macron's Iran diplomacy, open to meet Rouhani
US President Donald Trump welcomed French President Emmanuel Macron’s proposal to try to arrange a meeting between Trump and Iranian President Hassan Rouhani to discuss prospects for a new deal in the coming weeks.
US President Donald Trump praised the Iran diplomatic initiative of his host, French President Emmanuel Macron, in Biarritz, France, on Monday, and said he was open to Macron’s efforts to arrange a meeting between Trump and Iranian President Hassan Rouhani in the next few weeks — perhaps during the UN General Assembly next month.
“If the circumstances were correct or right, I would certainly agree to that,” Trump said at a press conference with Macron following the G-7 summit Monday, in response to a question if he would be willing to meet with Rouhani.
