U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio says President Trump is open to meeting Iran’s president this week during the United Nations General Assembly in New York. Rubio says the president could meet with Iran’s delegation on the UNGA sidelines while he is in the city.
Rubio makes the remarks in an interview with Fox News. He frames the potential engagement as consistent with the administration’s approach, adding that Trump uses “common sense.” The outlets describe the comment as opening a possibility for direct talks, though no meeting details, agenda, or confirmation of attendance are provided in the accounts.
Both sources report the same core point: Rubio is signaling openness to a meeting between Trump and Iranian counterparts during UNGA. They differ mainly in wording—one emphasizes the “door” to a Trump-Iran meeting, while the other specifies that the meeting would occur on UNGA sidelines.
