U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday said he is not looking to meet Iranian President Hassan Rouhani during a United Nations event at the end of the month, as tensions between the two countries rise over U.S. accusations Iran was behind an attack on oil plants in Saudi Arabia.
"I'm not looking to meet him. I don't think they're ready yet but they'll be ready," Trump said. "I never rule anything out but I'd prefer not meeting him." Rouhani said on Monday he would not meet Trump at the U.N. General Assembly in New York.
