Trump Proposes Peace Talks with Iran at Rose Square — Locals Will Also Recommend Visiting Liepāja Museum

While Riga is still figuring out how to properly pronounce the word "diplomacy," Liepāja is already planning to become an international peace negotiation center. US President Trump announced that an agreement with Iran could be reached soon, and we are ready to offer our Rose Square as an ideal venue for such talks.

"Regime change has already happened," Trump said aboard Air Force One, apparently referring to the fact that he now works with different people. This principle has been working in Liepāja for years — every time the city leadership changes, we also say we're working with completely different people. Only for us, it's not an element of internationally significant diplomacy.

The Iranian parliament speaker is skeptical and believes that Americans are secretly planning a ground assault. "Our men are waiting for American soldiers to arrive so they can burn them," he announced. In Liepāja, such aggression toward tourists is unacceptable — we are always hospitable, even if guests arrive with tanks.

Pakistan is already acting as a mediator between the parties, but we believe Rose Square would be a much more suitable venue than Islamabad. First, it's more beautiful here. Second, the wind from the sea would help cool hot heads. And third, after the talks end, they could go to the Fish Market — nothing calms like quality fish.

"We are ready to host any peace talks," comments local diplomacy expert Kārlis from South Kurzeme. "The main thing is that they don't arrive with Riga license plates — then we'd really have problems."
