'Iran wanted me to lift the sanctions imposed on them in order to meet. I said, of course, NO!' President Trump tweeted Friday.
President Donald Trump has refused to accept his Iranian counterpart's recent offer to open talks on potential changes to their nuclear deal, arguing that he was not prepared to lift sanctions ahead of any discussions.
Rouhani said such considerations would only be made, however, if the U.S. first respected the terms of their original agreement, which granted Iran sanctions relief in exchange for curbing its nuclear activities. He explained:"If we wish to step above and beyond the JCPOA, that is possible, but the proper foundation lies upon the full and exact implementation of the JCPOA.","Iran wanted me to lift the sanctions imposed on them in order to meet.
"Of course, three out of the six countries, that is the Chancellor of Germany, Prime Minister of Britain, and President of France all insisted for the meeting to be held, saying that the U.S. would lift all sanctions," Rouhani told reporters upon his arrival at Mehrabad Airport.
