European leaders hope to arrange a last-minute summit between Trump and Iran's President Hassan Rouhani to reduce tensions in the Middle East
U.S. President Donald Trump addresses the United Nations General Assembly at UN headquarters on September 24, 2019 in New York City.
Escorting a smiling Rouhani to a meeting with British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, Macron said that time was running short. Macron has spearheaded efforts to arrange a historic summit, selling Trump on the idea last month as he hopes to salvage a 2015 denuclearisation accord with Iran. "As long as Iran's menacing behavior continues, sanctions will not be lifted. They will be tightened," Trump told the General Assembly.
"We must create mutual trust," Rouhani said. "If the government of the United States of America is willing to talk, it must create the needed conditions."
