Trump says ready to meet Rouhani without preconditions

TEHRAN, Jul. 31 (MNA) – US President Donald Trump on Monday said that he would be willing to meet with Iranian President Hassan Rouhani "anytime they want to," and that he would impose no preconditions on such a meeting.

"They want to meet, I'll meet. Anytime they want," Trump said. The president's comments came amid escalating tension between the US and Iran. Earlier this month, Trump threatened Rouhani in an all-caps post on Twitter that called out the Iranian leader by name.

A meeting with Rouhani would be "good for the country, good for them, good for us, and good for the world," the US president said.

Just hours after Trump said he would not require preconditions to sit down with Iranian Rouhanii , Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Monday expressed his support for President Donald Trump holding talks with Iran, listing specific conditions for such discussions to occur.
