President Trump says a meeting with Iran is realistic in the next few weeks
President Trump wouldn't commit to meeting with Iran's President after French leader Emmanuel Macron raised the idea.
"If the circumstances were correct or right I would certainly agree to that," Trump said at the G7 summit in France."In the meantime they have to be good players." Earlier, Macron said he was working to arrange a meeting between Trump and Hassan Rouhani in the next few weeks as a precursor to a new nuclear agreement.
Trump did not respond directly to Macron's effort. But he said any new deal would need to encompass a longer period of time and include ballistic missile testing. "We’re looking for no nuclear weapons, no ballistic missiles, and a longer period of time," Trump said.But he said if Iran continued bad behavior, it would be met with"violent force."
