US President Donald Trump said yesterday that he would be willing to meet with his Iranian counterpart, Hbadan Rohani, to speak "without preconditions," despite cross-threats that he has had in recent years. weeks with the authorities of the country. Iranian regime. "There is nothing wrong with getting together," said the president.

At a press conference at the White House, questioned on the subject, the US President responded that he would hold this meeting with pleasure.

His policy against the Ayatollahs' government led him last May to withdraw the United States from the 2015 multilateral nuclear agreement signed between Iran and six other world powers

After this step, Trump decided to re-impose sanctions on Tehran for failing to comply with certain points of the treaty. These sanctions, divided by sectors of activity into two rounds, come into effect in August and November next and threaten to sink the already battered Iranian economy.

The Trump government accuses Tehran of having played a "destabilizing" role in the Middle East, and has established a series of draconian conditions for a new deal with Iran.

"It would be good for them, good for us and good for the world," said the US president. In the same way, he had generated the thaw with North Korea, which ended with a summit with Kim Jong-un.
