U.S. President Donald Trump says U.S. officials meet with an Iranian delegation for about three hours on Tuesday at the United Nations in New York. Trump tells reporters the meeting is “very good” and “very productive,” and says another round is scheduled “in the very near future.”
The meeting takes place on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly. The outlets report it as a diplomatic engagement between U.S. and Iranian officials amid ongoing tensions. Middle East Eye additionally notes that the comments come hours after Trump threatens severe consequences for Iran if it does not agree to a deal to end the war, while other outlets focus mainly on Trump’s characterization of the meeting and the logistics around the UN setting.
