French President Emmanuel Macron tells Iranian President Hassan Rouhani that he should meet with U.S. President Donald Trump while he's attending the United Nations General Assembly, Wednesday, September 25.
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who is facing troubles back home in Britain, was also present and stressed the importance of diplomatic ties between the West and Iran.
Following the impromptu meeting between the three leaders, Johnson and Rouhani conducted a bilateral meeting on the sidelines of UNGA.
Addressing the General Assembly Tuesday, President Trump pointed to Iran as one of the greatest global threats, saying it oppresses its citizens at home while fueling conflicts and terrorism beyond its borders. He said as long as this continues, U.S. sanctions will not be lifted, they will be tightened.
But the U.S. president left open the door to diplomacy, noting that some of America’s past enemies are now its closest friends.
“The United States has never believed in permanent enemies,” he said. “We want partners, not adversaries.”
