Don now sets eyes on Iran; wants ‘real deal’ TRUDEAU REMARKS WILL COST CANADA ‘A LOT’: TRUMP
Singapore, June 12: President Donald Trump on Tuesday said he would soon like to have a “real deal” with Iran, weeks after he unilaterally pulled the US out of the landmark agreement signed by the Obama administration along with other world powers.
The nuclear deal was negotiated and agreed to by Iran and the P5+1 (the US, the UK, France, China, Russia and Germany) in 2015, granting Iran sanctions relief and returning frozen assets in exchange for restrictions on its nuclear programme and international inspections.
Trump last month withdrew from the deal, terming it as the “decaying and rotten” agreement. Addressing a marathon press conference after his historic summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un here, Trump said he hoped relations could also improve, in time, with Iran. –PTI Singapore, June 12: President Donald Trump says Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau “learned” from the mistake of criticizing him and it's going to cost Canada “a lot of money.”
At a news conference Tuesday after his summit, Trump recounted his recent tough exchanges with Trudeau. He says the Canadian leader must not have realized that Trump had televisions on Air Force One, allowing him to monitor Trudeau's news conference at the end of the G-7 summit.
The president also discussed the viral photo taken of German Chancellor Angela Merkel and others standing before him. –Agencies
