US President Donald Trump said on Monday he would be willing to meet Iran’s president without preconditions to discuss how to improve ties after he pulled out of the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, saying, “If they want to meet, we’ll meet.”
“I’d meet with anybody. I believe in meetings,” especially in cases where war is at stake, Trump said at a White House news conference when asked whether he was willing to meet President Hassan Rouhani, Reuters reported.
In response, Iran says the way back to talks was for the United States to return to the nuclear deal between Iran and six major powers that Trump tore up in May.
