RT - Despite the Trump administration�s hawkish rhetoric aimed at Tehran, the US president apparently thinks that Iranian leader Hassan Rouhani is a �lovely man� � and even hinted that the two could meet in the future.


�Despite requests, I have no plans to meet Iranian President Hassan Rouhani. Maybe someday in the future. I am sure he is an absolutely lovely man!��Trump tweeted on Tuesday.

The tweet�s friendly tone contrasts sharply with the Trump administration�s hostile posturing towards Iran � a tweet-tactic that Trump also employed with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un. After lobbing numerous insults at Kim and openly threatening Pyongyang, Trump declared in May that he would be��honored��to meet with the North Korean leader. Overnight, Kim went from��Little Rocket Man��to a��smart cookie.��The pair later met at a historic summit in Singapore in June.
