(MENAFN) France is welcoming U.S. President Donald Trump's decision not to pull out of the agreement restraining Iran's nuclear ambitions despite his demands to change the key international deal.
"We have observed with interest that President Trump has not broken the agreement, even if, on the other hand, he has made a certain number of demands that at times seem like ultimatums," French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said Monday.
Le Drian highlighted France's support for the agreement, saying it is an "essential element in the fight against proliferation" of nuclear weapons. The European Union has formerly said it cannot be renegotiated.
The 2015 nuclear deal with world powers saw Iran receive curbs on its nuclear program in exchange for lifting international sanctions.
