Trump to keep N.korea's nuclear deal alive for now
US President Donald Trump says he will waive economic sanctions
against Iran. His decision will keep the 2015 nuclear deal alive for the time being.
But he says this waiver will be the last and is meant to secure an
agreement from European allies to fix what he says are flaws in the pact.
Trump on Friday issued a statement on the deal in which 6 world
powers agreed to lift economic sanctions on Iran in exchange for
its curbing of nuclear activities.
Trump says the deal has flaws. He wants to require more robust
inspections of nuclear facilities. He also wants Tehran's ballistic
missile program to be addressed.
Trump said this is the last chance, and in the absence of an agreement
, the US would not remain a party to the deal.
The Trump administration also announced new sanctions on 14 Iranian
individuals and entities over what his administration sees as serious
human rights abuses and support of weapons development.
Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif has criticized President
Trump, saying the nuclear deal is not renegotiable.
Zarif tweeted that Trump's policy and his announcement on Friday
amount to desperate attempts to undermine a solid multilateral agreement.
He wrote that rather than repeating tired rhetoric, the US must bring itself into
full compliance just like Iran.
