EU leader says current Iran nuclear deal should be kept
None
BRUSSELS - The current deal with Iran is working effectively to keep Tehran from developing nuclear weapons and should be preserved for the future, European Union foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini said Wednesday.
Mogherini spoke after US President Trump again showed dissatisfaction with the international agreement during a news conference with French President Emmanuel Macron, highlighting a trans-Atlantic rift on the issue.
Germany, which was part of the agreement along with Iran, the U.S., Russia, China, Britain and France, threw its weight behind Mogherini's position on Wednesday.
"We want to preserve it, and we want to contribute to the United States remaining in this agreement after May 12," said German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas.
