Reuters: Trump says ready to meet Iran's president to solve nuclear impasse
BIARRITZ, France (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday he would meet Iran’s president under the right circumstances to end a confrontation over a 2015 nuclear deal and that talks were underway to see how countries could open credit lines to keep Iran’s economy afloat.
But Trump, speaking at a G7 summit in the French resort of Biarritz, ruled out lifting economic sanctions to compensate for losses suffered by Iran.
Trump told reporters it was realistic to envisage a meeting between him and President Hassan Rouhani in coming weeks, describing Iran as a country of “tremendous potential”.
“I have a good feeling. I think he (Rouhani) is going to want to meet and get their situation straightened out. They are hurting badly,” Trump said.

Iran is hurting, that much is sure and demonstrations will come there next. Rouhani would be smart to make a deal. And quite frankly it would elevate Rouhani to talk to Trump who is undoubtedly the number1 guy in the world now. Xi looks outmatched and outwitted standing next to him. So Rouhani would be elevated a lot. What he perhaps cannot do is to ignore his ego. And with that I mean Rouhani haha. .both have egos. .but the Iranian culture is proud of their deal making capabilities - those of us who ever visited know why. But he is no Trump. So he better take the opportunity and leave and not double cross him to make an Iranian point of being smart. You might lose 5gdp points for trying to look smart
Iran imitates China. It will lock up a million citizens.
i.e liberals all think alike.
