World leaders made last-minute push to get Pres. Trump to meet with Iranian Pres. Hassan Rouhani.
Just hours before Iranian President Hassan Rouhani delivered an ultimatum that he would not meet with President Donald Trump without relief from sanctions, there was a strong push to get the two world leaders together on Tuesday, according to a senior European diplomat -- a sign of how fluid things can be at the U.N. General Assembly.
After Macron and Trump huddled at the Palace Hotel, the French president met with Rouhani -- at least his second time in 24 hours. He pressed Rouhani and told him it's"now time for them to move if they want to go forward, to have less sanctions and go for a deal," the diplomat told ABC News.Rouhani reiterated in his U.N. address Wednesday that Iran will only meet once the U.S. starts to lift sanctions.
When asked if the U.S. seemed open to easing some sanctions first, the diplomat said,"It depends on who you speak to," noting Trump has already voiced a desire for dialogue.
