AI Summary

U.S. President Donald Trump suggested that sanctions on Iran could be lifted once Iran behaves appropriately. He emphasized that sanctions are preventing Iran's economic recovery and indicated that sanctions relief would be conditional on Iranian behavior.

EVIAN-LES-BAINS, France, June 17 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday suggested that sanctions on Iran would be removed once "they behave." "As far as sanctions are concerned, at some point, you know, we have sanctions which will never let them rebuild. They would have no money, they would be in poverty, the 91 million people would starve, so something will happen as soon as they behave. When they behave, we're going to let that go. We're going to have to. I put sanctions on a lot of people, and then I let them go," Trump told reporters.
