SEOUL/BEIRUT (Reuters) - Iranian President Hassan Rouhani told North Koreas foreign minister that the United States cannot be trusted, Tehrans state media said, as the United States seeks a deal to rein in the Norths nuclear and missile programs.
Iran dismissed a last-minute offer from Washington for talks this week, saying it could not negotiate after the Trump administration reneged on a 2015 deal to lift sanctions in return for curbs on Irans own nuclear program.
North Koreas top diplomat, Ri Yong Ho, visited Iran as the United States reintroduced sanctions against the Islamic Republic.
The U.S. administration performance in these years has led the country to be considered untrustworthy and unreliable around the world which does not meet any of its obligations, Rouhani was quoted by the Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA) as telling Ri on Wednesday.

Three liars walk into a bar. How can they tell who's telling the truth?
Typical Trump speech:
"Trust me" blah blah blah
"Believe me" blah blah blah
"As you all know" blah blah blah
"We're going to take care of" blah blah blah
"Honestly" blah blah blah
"I'm more popular that Honest Abe." blah blah blah
I Call It Truthful Hyperbole blah blah blah
Liars can only lie. No one ever believes them. Even when they're telling the truth.
