Boris Johnson has said President Trump should produce a replacement for the Iran nuclear deal and called for tensions to be “dialed down” in the Gulf.
Donald Trump pulled the US out of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) however, the UK and European allies have remained committed.
Speaking to the BBC Johnson said, “If we are going to get rid of it then we need a replacement.
“The problem with the JCPOA – this is the crucial thing, it’s why there is this tension – the problem with the agreement is that from the American perspective it’s a flawed agreement, it expires, plus it was negotiated by President Obama.
“From their point of view it has many, many faults.
“If we are going to get rid of it, let’s replace it and let’s replace it with the Trump deal. That’s what we need to see.
“I think that would be a great way forward.
“President Trump is a great deal-maker – by his own account and many others. Let’s work together to replace the JCPOA and get the Trump deal instead.”
