The US and Iran are holding direct talks with their first meeting scheduled for Saturday at “almost at the top” level, President Donald Trump said Monday, adding a failure to reach an agreement will leave Teheran in “great danger” because it cannot be allowed to possess a nuclear weapon.
The American president gave no indications of the location of the talks or the officials who will be involved. Although he did say several times at a news conference he addressed alongside the visiting Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, that the talks will be held at the “very top” level and “almost at the highest level”.
