Washington: US President Donald Trump has said Iran wants a deal with Washington but is not yet ready, insisting that the US will agree only to a deal that meets its expectations.
'Iran wants to make a deal; they’re not ready, in my opinion,'Trump said. 'We’re gonna either make a deal that’s good, or we’re not gonna make a deal at all.'
Trump’s comments came ahead of an expected meeting with leaders or foreign ministers from the six Gulf Cooperation Council countries : Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait and Oman on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York next week.
The talks are expected to focus on the US approach to ending the conflict with Iran and plans for the period after the war. The Gulf states have been affected by attacks and disruptions to energy supplies and shipping during the conflict.
Trump has also said he hopes the war is moving towards an end and claimed that Washington has heard directly from Iran that Tehran wants a deal. Iran has not publicly confirmed the details of the alleged contact.
