WASHINGTON, Sept. 21 -- U.S. President Donald Trump and British Prime Minister Theresa May discussed on Wednesday issues concerning Iran and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), the White House said on Thursday.

"They discussed approaches to end Iran's destabilizing influence in Syria and Iraq. The two leaders also reviewed next steps on the Iran nuclear deal," said the White House in a statement.

During their meeting on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly session in New York, Trump also asked the British leader to increase pressure on the DPRK, said the statement.

Early on Tuesday, Trump talked tough on Iran and the DPRK in his debut UN address, in which he signaled a possible end of the Iran nuclear deal and pressured the DPRK to give up its nuclear weapons program.

Trump said on Wednesday that he had already made a decision on the fate of the 2017 Iran nuclear deal, but declined to give detail.

Under the U.S. law, the State Department is required every 90 days to recertify to Congress Iran's compliance with the nuclear deal.

So far, the Trump administration had recertified Iran's compliance with the deal twice and the next deadline for recertification comes due on Oct. 15, 2017.

According to local media reports, Trump reportedly clashed with his national security team on whether he should recertify Iran's compliance in July. Soon after the second recertification, Trump told The Wall Street Journal that he "personally" would expect Iran to be declared noncompliant in October.
