The Prime Minister also expressed satisfaction after the meeting between the two: “I have just concluded an excellent meeting with President Trump. When I say excellent, it is not mere lip service. A conversation of full partnership, with mutual support, and with an understanding of the shared goal to ensure that Iran does not obtain nuclear weapons, as well as other objectives.”
