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
