(CNA, Washington, D.C., comprehensive foreign news on the 3rd) U.S. President Donald Trump said today that Iran has agreed not to possess nuclear weapons and stated that Iran's Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, is also participating in negotiations with the United States. He also expressed a desire to meet with Mojtaba Khamenei.
According to AFP, Trump said in an interview on the New York Post's podcast, "Pod Force One," "I want to meet him (referring to Mojtaba Khamenei). We might meet at some point, depending on how things develop."
The New York Post reported that in an exclusive interview on Pod Force One, Trump stated that the U.S. naval blockade around the Strait of Hormuz could potentially continue until the U.S. Labor Day, September 7. This would mean high oil prices throughout the summer, potentially harming the Republican Party in the November midterm elections.
However, Trump then said, "I don't know. I mean, I think it's possible (the blockade lasts until Labor Day), but I think it's unlikely. I think we can solve it. I think it will resolve itself very quickly."
Trump largely maintained his optimistic tone, saying negotiations with Iran are "moving along very rapidly" and adding, "We're not going to let them have a nuclear weapon, and a lot of other good things are going to happen."
