Trump: 'Really Good Chance' He Will Meet with Iranian President Hassan
Rouhani

Ken Bredemeier

   WASHINGTON - U.S. President Donald Trump said Monday "there's a really
   good chance" he would meet with Iranian President Hassan Rouhani in the
   coming weeks to try to negotiate a new deal to curb Tehran's nuclear
   weapons program to replace the 2015 international deal that Trump
   withdrew from last year.

   Trump, speaking at the end of the G-7 summit of top world leaders in
   France, said, "I think Iran is going to want to meet."

   The U.S. leader said the economic sanctions he reimposed on Iran a year
   ago "are absolutely hurting them" as Trump has sought to sharply limit
   Iran's international oil exports.

   But Trump predicated any meeting with Rouhani on the condition that
   Iran not create more overseas tensions with military advances and
   attacks. He said a new deal would have to ban Iranian nuclear weapons
   and ballistic missile testing and cover a longer period than the
   10-year time frame dictated by the 2015 accord.
