President Donald Trump said U.S. and Iranian officials held a "very good meeting" in New York on Tuesday, following his UN speech and amid a seven-month conflict, though no details were disclosed. The meeting lasted three hours after most of Iran's delegation walked out during Trump's address, where he threatened to "annihilate" Iran. Iran's delegation had authority to negotiate, but neither side revealed discussions or agreements. Trump demands Iran never acquire nuclear weapons and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The conflict has pushed oil prices near $100 per barrel. Separately, Trump signed an agreement expanding U.S. military presence in Greenland.
