He told about this in the course of his speech to the journalists.
"I believe in this meeting, I would definitely meet with the leadership of Iran, if they want it. I'm not sure that they are ready for this, now they have difficult times, "said the American president.
He noted that he is ready to meet with the representatives of Iran "at any time, when they want."
"I do not do it for reasons of strength or weakness, I think it's just the right thing to do. If we come to something meaningful, and not to such a loss of paper, as was the case with the previous deal (the nuclear agreement on Iran.- RT ), I would definitely like to meet, "Trump said.
According to the president, this would be good for Iran, the United States and the world.
Earlier it was reported that Trump had offered Hassan Ruhani eight times to hold a meeting when the Iranian leader visited the UN building in New York for the last time.
