Iran nuclear deal: Johnson tells Trump ‘don’t walk away’

DonaldBoris Johnson has urged President Trump not to give up on the Iran nuclear deal, saying “at this delicate juncture it would be a mistake to walk away”.

The foreign secretary is in Washington to persuade the US president to remain a part of the international accord.

The deal saw Iran agree to limit its nuclear activities in return for the easing of sanctions on its economy.

The UK and its European allies have until 12 May to persuade Mr Trump to stick with the deal.

Mr Trump has strongly criticised the agreement, which he calls “insane”.

Britain, France and Germany have been working behind the scenes for weeks in an effort to preserve the deal, which was orchestrated under the Obama administration, and includes Russia and China as signatories.
