We did hear President Trump say during his media briefing that he was keen on maintaining talks about ending Iran’s nuclear programme.
The possibility of Iranians coming to the White House was floated. Obviously, no conformation whatsoever of such a statement.
However, there is a tangible thing happening on Friday and that is European foreign ministers will be meeting in Geneva with the Iranian foreign minister.
The leaders of France, Germany and Britain will be meeting the Iranian foreign minister, and this, we are told, is a meeting being coordinated by the United States … which could possibly be a window for President Trump to continue to push for some form of agreement to come out of Iran.
The European foreign ministers are seeking assurances from Iran that its nuclear development will remain a peaceful one and that there is no intent to create a nuclear weapon.
And, as we’ve heard, the US will be playing a role, albeit indirect, in those particular discussions.
