The president said he would be “leading the pack” against Iran if it did not agree to a nuclear deal, but he said he was open to meeting Iranian leaders.
President Trump said he could impose tariffs on nations that buy oil from Russia if it thwarts negotiations for a peace deal in Ukraine. He suggested the same step was possible for Iran.

The White House did not immediately provide details. The move was a sharp pivot for President Trump, who withdrew the United States from a nuclear deal with Iran in 2018.
