President Trump denies that the U.S. had offered to lift sanctions on Iran to clear the way for a meeting with President Hassan Rouhani at the United Nations this week
President Donald Trump on Friday denied that the U.S. had offered to lift sanctions on Iran to clear the way for a meeting with President Hassan Rouhani at the United Nations this week.
The will-they-won’t-they dynamic was set to be one of the biggest narratives out of the annual gathering of leaders in New York, but the start of an impeachment inquiry into Trump quickly overshadowed any potential meeting between the two leaders. French President Emmanuel Macron was among those pushing hardest for Trump and Rouhani to meet, but both leaders shut down the proposal prior to heading to New York.
In the most recent provocation, the U.S. and other allies blamed Iran for a series of drone attacks on Saudi oil infrastructure that harmed the global oil leader's production. Trump has declined to take any military action thus far, instead hitting Tehran with a fresh round of sanctions targeting its central bank.
