Boris Johnson has called for a new “Trump deal” to replace the Iran nuclear agreement, winning praise from the US president and potentially shattering EU unity.
In extraordinary comments in New York, the prime minister attacked the existing “bad deal” – ending four years of the UK backing it as the best way to stop Tehran building a bomb.
And he went further, telling US television: “I think there’s one guy who can do a better deal, and one guy who understands how to get a difficult partner like Iran over the line, and that is the president of the United States.
“So I hope that there will be a Trump deal, to be totally honest with you.”
Boris Johnson calls for ‘Trump deal’ to replace Iran nuclear agreement
The leaders of France, Britain and Germany are urging Iran to enter talks about a new arrangement to bolster the fraying nuclear deal Tehran struck with the West in 2015 — though they said they still supported that agreement, which the U.S. has withdrawn from.
French President Emmanuel Macron, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and German Chancellor Angela Merkel called for Iran "to accept negotiation on a long-term framework for its nuclear programme as well as on issues related to regional security, including its missiles programme and other means of delivery."
Johnson went further, saying U.S. President Donald Trump should strike a new deal with Tehran.
Johnson told NBC that "there's one guy who can do a better deal ... and that is the president of the United States. I hope there will be a Trump deal."
The Latest: European powers push for new talks with Iran
While America's European allies are now backing President Trump, American Democrats are still rooting for Iran.
