Hosting France’s Macron, Trump calls Iran deal ‘a disaster’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleUS President Donald Trump pillories the Iran nuclear deal as “a disaster” and “insane” as he hosts French President Emmanuel Macron in the Oval Office Tuesday, puncturing a carefully choreographed display of pomp and camaraderie.
The US leader grouses that the accord — inked three years ago by the United States, Iran, France, Britain, Germany, Russia, and China — does nothing to tackle Tehran’s ballistic missiles program or support for terror groups across the Middle East.
Macron is in Washington in part to convince Trump not to walk away from the deal and scuttle what European leaders view as hard-won diplomatic gains.
Trump faces a May 12 deadline to decide on the fate of the accord.
