President Donald Trump said U.S. and Iranian officials held a three-hour meeting in New York on Tuesday, describing it as "very good," following his UN speech where he threatened to "annihilate" Iran. No details on the discussions or progress were disclosed. The meeting occurred hours after most of Iran's delegation walked out during Trump's address, in which he said he believed a deal would be made after the election. Iran's delegation had authority to negotiate, but neither side revealed outcomes. The seven-month conflict has driven oil prices near $100 per barrel. Trump reiterated demands that Iran never acquire nuclear weapons and fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz. He predicted oil prices would plummet if the war ends. Separately, he signed an agreement expanding U.S. military presence in Greenland and predicted Cuba's government would fall.
