Trump sees US-Iran deal as possible after UN meeting with UK's Burnham

jpost.com

President Donald Trump expressed optimism about reaching a deal with Iran, stating "a settlement is going to be reached" after meeting British Prime Minister Andy Burnham at the UN General Assembly in New York, noting ongoing talks between the US and Iran. Trump said Iran has been talking to the US, including on Tuesday, and that the relationship is developing, while reiterating that Iran cannot be allowed to have a nuclear weapon. Burnham said the two leaders established a good connection despite policy differences, with discussions covering Ukraine, the Falkland Islands, and trade. The UK-US relationship is a major challenge for Burnham, strained by Trump's foreign policy including the US-Israeli attack on Iran this year. Trump also criticized Britain's plan to cede sovereignty of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius, calling it a "terrible deal" over the Diego Garcia military base.
