France's Le Drian plans March trip to Iran after Trump ultimatum on nuclear deal
PARIS - France's foreign minister said on Sunday he would visit Iran on March 5 to discuss its ballistic missile program and the nuclear deal agreed with world powers in 2015, as tensions between the two countries rise.
In an interview with daily Le Figaro to be published on Monday, Jean-Yves Le Drian said he would discuss the landmark nuclear deal after US President Donald Trump's January 12 ultimatum to Britain, France and Germany to "fix" the deal or he would withdraw.
"A country that goes back on its word devalues its word," Le Drian said.
