No clear movement toward a meeting between Trump and Iranian President in New York

CNN  

CNN — Even though President Donald Trump says Iran wants to meet, there is little to suggest that there is behind the scenes movement toward any meeting between Trump and Iranian President Hassan Rouhani coming to fruition. There have been discussions at the White House about easing Iranian sanctions or providing the waivers needed to implement the French idea of getting cash to flow into Iran, both of which could be done in an effort to pave the way for a Trump-Rouhani meeting, according to two administration officials. Mnuchin added that there are no plans for Trump to meet with Rouhani at the United Nations General Assembly later this month, but he reiterated the President has said he would be open to meeting with “no conditions.” A day earlier, Trump was asked by a reporter in the Oval Office if he would consider easing sanctions to make a meeting happen. Given the stagnant situation on multiple fronts – both on the easing of sanctions and the exchange of prisoners – and Iran continually saying it will not meet with Trump, it remains unclear how the Trump administration could get the Iranians to agree to a meeting at the end of this month during the general assembly.
