U.S. President Donald Trump said he would be "honored" to meet Iran's new Supreme Leader if such a meeting were to take place, despite tensions between Washington and Tehran. Speaking to reporters, Trump was asked whether the Iranian leader might harbor resentment due to the deaths of family members in past conflicts involving the United States. Trump responded that he was likely "not his favorite person" but suggested the Iranian leader had a strong reputation in some circles. He also drew a comparison to criticism directed at himself, arguing that negative portrayals of public figures are often inaccurate.
