Trump ready to meet Iran: "I would meet Iran if they want a meeting."

(nda) US President Donald Trump is, in his words, ready to meet Iranian leader Hassan Rohani "at any time" and "without preconditions". A week after his threats to Tehran, Trump told Washington Monday: "I would meet Iran if they want a meeting."

He did not know if the Iranian rulers were ready for a meeting, added the US president at a joint press conference with Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte.

Only a week ago, Trump warned the Iranian president never to threaten the United States again. His threat on the Twitter short message service has completely capitalized on the US President, to give it a special importance. Previously, Rohani had threatened the United States with the "mother of all battles".

Trump resigned from international nuclear talks with Iran in May despite worldwide criticism aimed at preventing Tehran from acquiring nuclear engineering capabilities. At the same time, the US president has imposed new financial and commercial sanctions that threaten to hit European companies.
