The US, UK, China, Russia, and France affirmed in a statement that "that a nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought."
The European Union is chairing a new round of negotiations in order to make all parties of the landmark deal return to compliance.
May 10, 2018 Part I: US-North Korea relations continue to warm after Secretary of State Mike Pompeo visits Pyongyang, bringing home three American hostages. This in spite of fears that by shredding up the Iranian nuclear deal Donald Trump has also damaged trust in American promises. It certainly has European leaders scrambling to salvage the ailing accord - an opportunity, writes French paper Libération, "to transform Europe into a power that is not only economic, but political."
Does Donald Trump have both Iran and Europe over a barrel? By walking away from the 2015 Nuclear Deal, will Iran build up its militarization? Already, hardliners in Iran are cheering. The United States reimposing sanctions on anyone dealing with Iran with US dollars. How can Europe's signatories stay in? How should they respond? Will Trump's move on Iran stoke brewing trade battles and alter transatlantic relations? Is it a personal defeat for Emmanuel Macron trying to convince Trump to stay in?
