In a direct response to Trump, Swedish Foreign Minister Margot Wallstrom says “patriotism” isn’t the solution to Tehran’s nuclear program. And she says her country will be standing by the European Union’s support for the Iran nuclear deal that Trump has abandoned.
Trump told the UN General Assembly yesterday that “America is governed by Americans. We reject the ideology of globalism, and we embrace the doctrine of patriotism.”
Wallstrom asks hypothetically, “What’s the alternative to the Iran deal?”
In her words, “We have tried sanctions over the years. We tried isolation, and it only gave the most conservative forces in Iran more power,” she says.
Wallstrom says the EU is working on how to set up a financial facility that will help companies do business with Iran following the U.S. imposition of sanctions.
