Press TV - Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei dismisses US President Donald Trump as a person not worthy of exchanging messages with.

Ayatollah Khamenei made the remarks in a Thursday meeting with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who told the Leader he was carrying a message from the US president.

�We have no doubts about your (Japan�s) goodwill and seriousness, but regarding what you quoted from the US president, I personally do not consider Trump worthy of exchanging any messages with, and do not have and will not have any response for him,� the Leader told Abe.

The Leader said Iran has �no trust� in the United States and will not �repeat the bitter experience� it gained from the negotiations that led to the conclusion of a 2015 nuclear deal, which Washington later ditched.

Ayatollah Khamenei further rejected as �a lie� Trump�s claim that he was not after regime change in Iran, saying if the US president were able to bring about such a change, he would definitely go for it.
