Macron to push Trump on Iran deal
    2018-04-24  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

U.S. President Donald Trump faces a European double bill this week as a deadline looms for deciding whether the U.S. will withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal.

French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Angela Merkel, arriving back to back, will bring a unified message: Save the deal.

“I don’t have any Plan B for nuclear protections against Iran,” Macron said Sunday on Fox News. “Let’s preserve the framework because it is better than a sort of North Korea-type situation.”

Iran’s foreign minister made the point more dramatically, warning that if Trump quits the 2015 agreement Tehran may respond by resuming and intensifying its nuclear program.

Javad Zarif, who helped negotiate the nuclear deal, said on CBS’ “Face the Nation” that Iran might consider “resuming at a much greater speed” its nuclear activities.

“Obviously the rest of the world cannot ask us to unilaterally and one-sidedly implement a deal that has already been broken,” Zarif said.

“I think the international community has seen that...the United States under this administration has not been in a mood to fulfill its obligations,” he said. “So that makes the United States not very trustworthy.”

The dual nuclear problems — Iran and North Korea — are coming to a head in simultaneously.

Trump has said he would like to scrap the Iran accord unless co-signatories France, Germany and Britain can “fix” it. Unless revisions are made, he said he would not sign another wavier of U.S. sanctions May 12, the next deadline, potentially wrecking the deal.

Trump is also hoping to meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un by mid-June in a push to roll back the country’s nuclear arsenal. On Sunday, Trump uncharacteristically sought to downplay expectations of the proposed summit. “Only time will tell,” he posted on Twitter.
