Trump likely to meet Iran’s President in New York during UN assembly

President Donald Trump indicated he would likely meet with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian in New York this week. The possible meeting is expected to occur during the United Nations General Assembly’s high-level week. This development comes amid ongoing conflict between the United States and Iran, which has seen military engagement since late February 2026. The potential meeting suggests an opportunity for diplomatic engagement at a critical juncture in the conflict, as Washington and Tehran continue their intermittent talks aimed at resolving the ongoing war.

Key Takeaways

• Trump’s statement about a potential meeting with the Iranian President suggests a shift in possible venues for US-Iran talks, impacting market expectations about the location of future negotiations.
• Market pricing reflects skepticism about the UAE hosting the next diplomatic meeting, with odds for that location remaining very low.
• The possibility of a meeting in New York aligns with a slight increase in the likelihood of the next diplomatic engagement taking place in the United States.

What to Watch

Further confirmations of the meeting between Trump and Pezeshkian could significantly affect markets, especially those concerned with the location of US-Iran talks. Any official announcement or additional diplomatic gestures in New York may indicate a shift in the diplomatic dynamics between the two nations. Observers should also monitor statements from other international actors, such as Qatar or Turkey, which might propose alternative venues for future discussions.
