​WASHINGTON – Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif made a surprise trip to the G-7 in France ​on ​Sunday.

A top French official told the Associated Press that French President Emmanuel Macron, who is hosting the summit, decided to invite Zarif to Biarritz after a Saturday night dinner with world leaders including President Trump.

At the dinner there were tense exchanges over how to deal with Iran’s nuclear program following Trump’s decision to leave the Iran nuclear deal, which had been negotiated by the ​Obama administration.

​France and the other countries still part of the agreement – including Great Britain, Germany and the European Union – have been trying to salvage it.

Zarif will hold meetings on the sidelines of the G-7, starting with French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian.

A top French official did not rule out another meeting between Zarif and Marcon.

Iran’s top diplomat and the French president had already met Friday.

No meetings are currently planned between Zarif and the Americans.

Trump was asked about reports that Zarif was coming and if he planned to meet with him as he and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe were announcing Sunday that a trade deal framework had been agreed upon between the U.S. and Japan.

“No comment,” Trump answered.
