If the 2015 nuclear deal does collapse with Iran, a 'Trump deal' negotiated by the U.S. president should replace it, U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson said Tuesday.
If the 2015 nuclear deal does collapse with Iran, a "Trump deal" negotiated by the U.S. president should replace it, U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson said Tuesday.
"We're going to come under pressure, everybody will say, 'well you've got to get rid of this nuclear deal, the JCPOA,' that's what Trump wants. My point to our American friends is, look, somehow or other we've got to stop the Iranians acquiring a nuclear weapon, that's what the JCPOA does, but if we're going to get rid of it, then we need a replacement," Johnson told BBC Breakfast on Tuesday.
"The problem with the agreement is that from the American perspective it's a flawed agreement, it expires, plus it was negotiated by President Obama and from their point of view it has many, many faults. Well, if we're going to get rid of it, let's replace it and let's replace it with the Trump deal, that's what we need to see," he said.
