Macron says Trump ‘not very much eager’ to defend Iran deal
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleFrench President Emmanuel Macron says that he has no “inside information” on whether US President Donald Trump will pull the United States out of the Iran nuclear deal but that it’s clear Trump “is not very much eager to defend it.”
Macron’s remarks to French reporters Wednesday come at the end of a three-day trip to Washington, during which he urged Trump not to withdraw from the 2015 pact aimed at restricting Iran’s development of nuclear weapons.
Trump on Tuesday called the deal “ridiculous” but did not say whether he would withdraw the US by the May 12 deadline he has set.
Macron points out that withdrawing the US from the deal is “a campaign commitment that (Trump) took a long time ago.”
