President Donald Trump said Thursday he would be open to meeting with Iran’s new supreme leader if there’s an agreement to end the war.

“I don’t want to meet. But if I did meet, I’d be honored to meet him. I’d like to see if we make a deal, but if we make a deal, it’s possible that I would meet him. I’d be okay with it,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office.

Asked whether such a meeting could take place in the United States, Trump said “I haven’t really heard too much about it. I didn’t suggest it, but some people have suggested it.”

Trump said he’d be respectful in any meeting with the supreme leader.

“I would say I’m not his favorite person, but with that being said, he’s probably a professional,” Trump said, adding that “in some circles he has a very good reputation, actually.”
