Trump Opens to Meeting Khamenei If Iran Deal Reached
US President Donald Trump said he would be "honored" to meet Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei if a deal is reached to end the US-Iran war, which has entered its fourth month.
In his statement on Thursday (June 4), Trump emphasized that the meeting would be conditional. "If we make a deal, I'll probably meet," he said, adding that he was "fine" with that scenario.
This signal comes amid ongoing negotiations that are still volatile and often influenced by dynamics on the ground. The market views the possibility of a high-level meeting as an indicator that Washington is opening up more diplomatic space, but is still awaiting confirmation of the substance and mechanisms for implementation.
For the market, Trump's comments have the potential to influence risk sentiment through the energy channel. The prospect of a credible deal typically depresses the risk premium on oil and can weaken the dollar as a safe haven; conversely, if the diplomatic path stalls again, oil and dollar volatility tend to rise again.
