European powers say nearing plan to save Iran nuclear pact
None
Western envoys said Britain, Germany and France were nearing a package to put to Donald Trump to try and persuade him to save the Iran nuclear agreement, even as Tehran poured more scorn on the US president, dismissing him as a "tradesman".
Trump has described the 2015 agreement - under which Iran promised to curb its nuclear activities in exchange for lifted sanctions - as the worst deal ever negotiated and has threatened to wreck it by reimposing US penalties next month.
In Geneva, the US envoy on non-proliferation said Washington did not want to reopen or renegotiate the Iran deal but hoped to stay in it to fix its flaws through a supplementary agreement.
Russia, China, Germany, Britain and France, who all signed the accord with Iran and the United States, are determined to save the deal, seeing it as the best way to stop Iran developing a nuclear bomb.
