United states is taking. Prime minister i have been very clear in a number of conversations with the president of the United States about the belief that the United Kingdom the j. C. T. Away the nuclear deal with iran should stay on function was put on in the germany france and Great Britain have decided that we continue to which he had to the agreement. Of continuing to deal with these three European Countries i did not chose these three countries and. The most. Oh we begin the day with europe trying to pick up the pieces of that broken Iran Nuclear Deal us President Trumps decision yesterday to back out of the agreement was no surprise but on the day after as the reality began to set in dread and disappointment gave way to end humiliation from the Paris Climate Accord to trade. Tariffs to moving the u. S. Embassy to jerusalem and now the Iran Nuclear Deal many of the most controversial Foreign Policy decisions made by u. S. President trump have only served to widen a growing transatlantic divide european leaders who expect the u. S. To take its rightful leadership role are now confronted with a white house that does not take kindly to advice and appears to be brushing off european worries i want you to take a listen to what Trumps National security advisor john bolton said today we are completely together on what the objective is and now we have to get past this disagreement over the deal i think will do that im optimistic its just a disagreement is this a pretty possible military action that something youve spoken about and pushed for in the palm well those were my private opinions what were going to try and do now is keep the allies together keep transatlantic unity and put more pressure on iran on notice bolton said there keep the allies together you know if there ever was a plan to do that senior officials at the u. S. State department revealed yesterday that they had not received the memo in fact we learned that there is no plan b. Washington apparently assumes that europe will fall in line with trumps iran policy and they have a mequon tweet to back them up. Now this is the transcript from a briefing by the state department to reporters yesterday when a reporter asked how the u. S. Government can be sure that europe will cooperate a state Department Senior official said this i mean i think we have some idea because the president and president when he was here for the state visit president called it a four pillar new deal and the reporter says but one of the pillars that was keeping the c. P. A. Away the nuclear deal which he made certain to emphasize repeatedly the state Department Official went on to say right but he tweeted today something that seemed to indicate to me a french willingness to work with us and the reporter replied so you guys have a positive tweet out of it thats amazing yes the Trump Administration apparently decided that there is no need for a plan b. Because of the tweet written by the french president does emanuel macro not have that kind of sway over donald trump well that is just one of the questions posed to the french president today in an exclusive interview the french president sat down with d. W. News and the german public broadcaster already. With your. Boss a president madam. Thank you for taking the time with the basic idea mr president. Speak to you because youre going to be awarded the shot of the new price on thursday but we cannot limit ourselves to speaking about europe alone because we have a very important topic thats right you try it to a save the area and nuclear deal when you were in washington why did you fail. I think the most important thing is to maintain stability and peace and the middle east im in washington and i have said this by the way i had understood that President Trump wanted to. Leave agreement from two thousand and fifteen and during our joint press conference i had suggested that we work on a broader framework and i am very sorry about his decision i think it is a mistake and this is why we europeans have decided like we reiterated yesterday to remain with in the agreement from two thousand and fifteen as i reminded president of wanny we negotiated and signed this agreement and it allows us to control the Nuclear Defense activity in iran until two thousand and twenty five but this agreement needs to be completed on Nuclear Activities under two thousand twenty five ballistic activities in the region and regional activities of iran and iraq or yemen and syria when i was in washington i said to President Trump dont tear everything up but if something were you let strengthen this framework and he decided to create tension i think this was meant. To go. Beyond to something broader this is what we have to do among European Countries with the e. U. With the United Kingdoms germany and france we have to reaffirm that we are attached to the agreement from two thousand and fifteen because the Iranian Regime cannot take this its activities up again. What you have heard that they are stalling thats what they said in their declaration of yesterday there is no escalation and the european decision allows us to stop activities for now and to limit escalation and this is why we have to Work Together with our partners in order to limit and thats going to of tension in the region and this is what we have been trying for months now and this is also why we have to broaden already the topics in order to bring all the parties back to early larger security and stability framework for the region because you are saying that the europeans are going to try to remain in in the agreement and adopt it but what does it really mean without the United States what is it rusts without them is. A proposal that sufficient for iran. But this is going to be a topic in the coming weeks and months and its the mandate that we gave our Foreign Ministers in the e. U. And in iran. Because. What are you going to be able to propose while its the agreement that we signed balls. Is everything over a no because one of the signatories draws out but the others are reaffirming that theyre committed but i think in any event. It is a pity because we had anticipated and now we can regret his decision bad its important that we all remain obsessed by stability and peace. In the region. The situation is very difficult very dangerous and our Transatlantic Relations damaged well there are some elements of tension but there are also elements of very strong anchor anchoring between us and iran and i think we can go beyond this through a larger negotiation that i proposed already in last september during the u. N. Assembly with america and to resent may we want to work in this direction and we have also plans on the commercial level and i think this has to be respected we are very strong trade power the United States are an ally partner but we have rules to abide with the w t own rules and we have to respect them and have others respect them as well it is very important that we europeans maintained multilateral framework we have a True Convergence in our views and we Work Together and fight against terrorism together with the United States in syria we are working together in the International Coalition in africa we Work Together in the sire and sahara zone against islamist terrorism so you see we have some disagreements but nevertheless and most importantly we have a common interest the will to work for our Common Security in the same direction we are no at a historical point and we have to maintain doesnt matter order which we created at the end of the Second World War and that is sometimes in jeopardy when we have to create a strong moderate literalism as i said in washington. France germany and Great Britain and because she had to to gather with iran now in europe you have reform ideas that we dont endorse are you disappointed with and get american and im not at all i am you know waiting for her reply this is not our only topic that we talk about. Germany waited for a long time for france to complete its reforms and i am not here to give good grades bad grades are to say i am disappointed we Work Together we are partners. With women i think that the chancellor and her government is going to join us in this historic moment and Work Together for a stronger europe and more united and more sovereign and more democratic europe thats our challenge. Yes for those who follow the events i think you will see that the German Government is not working as quickly as you had expected because we have a different method and we also have different views if you will speaking about e. U. Finance minister but germany is not endorsing that. Everything that you envision is not going to be a person possible are you aware of that of course well i never said that everything that i propose has to you have to take it or leave it all i have an ambition i make proposals but i am convinced that it was my duty to do so the current status quo in europe is bad for everybody our sovereignty is being tested for everything that is happening the iranian crisis trade crisis the challenges of the Digital World of internet and Energy Transition migration and our capacity to protect ourselves we have to make progress and. We have to be a more integrated european avant garde i would like an economic government a minister but call it whatever you want actually the end is what counts more than the names i just wonder what that is more democratic and less bureaucratic with one third europe to be more united concerning the essential points able to protect itself against the big risks. Nothing at all thats why i want Stronger Political integration in the eurozone i mean a policy of solidarity and responsibility because in the last years europe has of or indeed was divided several times the vision between the north and the south because of the financial crisis and economic crisis and then it is vision between the east and the west because of the migration crisis do you think we can go on like that forever no we have to create more solidarity in front of all those dangerous and thats the reform that i have proposed i am waiting now for the german reply together with the chancellor we have the target of replying after getting a reply in june i am following the german political life you have elections new government and i think it would be a mistake to formulate a reply that lacks an ambition mr president i have a delicious question for you have i see you working. In germany you have often been called jupiter or c. S. R. One year into the presidency are you still a super hero worship of them become well i have never presented myself as such as so i leave the responsibility for this comparison to you they are not always. True i think from the first day i have been working hard i was elected president of the french republic by the french people who made a choice between extreme right wing candidate and what i had to propose and many thought that it would be impossible to be elected on the strength of european. Program i know that my project is very hard to carry out and i have been working without greece by it from day one. If you cannot manage for instance to amend the treaty every germany does not have a solution and this is to conclude if we dont find a solution as you still have a future im a fighter and i never draw on bad things im going to put all my energy into convincing and convincing some more i think the best way to convince is to do the job at home thats what i said from the beginning and this is why i waited until september to give my proposals for reform and then you have to explain to be humble to be constant i have no lessons to give i just say what i am suggestion and then i have to go on working and what some are and until things are reality i am not going to choose that option that a scenario because i think that would be a dramatic form of all of us and bad for germany as well germany had the courage and the strength of character to carry out very deep economic reform already ten years ago and benefited a lot from the eurozone but the situation where we know is not going to be able to continue like that so even germany should not remain in this situation. During the migration crisis germany was. In front by selfishness from all the other countries and had this experience now we have a more responsible europe where the countries are under pressure to reform and so we need more transparency more responsibility of the Member States but we need more solidarity in europe on economy of finance and migration we need more suffering europe that better protects itself against there is a more united europe and i really want your viewers to understand that its good for them to. See in many other events if you will cool through them the theme is you are you saw a mix often in that interview he joins us now from the german city of often where Emanuel Mccall is due to receive the charlemagne prize tomorrow good evening to you max so we heard of the french president there saying that leaving the Iranian Nuclear deal that it was a mistake did he talk about what he thinks is going to happen next. He did in a way but it was unclear if he really is convinced it will work so one part of that you heard it brant is that he thinks the europeans should stay committed to the Iran Nuclear Deal as we know what but at the same time the goshi ate a broader agreement with the red and probably also the United States beyond two thousand and twenty five that wouldnt only include Nuclear Disarmament of iran but also the use of Ballistic Missiles and the general role iran is playing in the region we dont have any idea donald trump the u. S. President is on board with that and of course we all know to really give any punch to an agreement you do need the United States and what about the french president himself you know hes quick to say that the u. S. President has made a mistake but what about mr mack wrongs show of almost like a bromance relationship with the u. S. President just a couple of weeks ago all of that lobbying appears to have been in vain did he talk about his own shortcomings. Well he did say that he anticipated that this would happen he did not say that he made any kind of mistakes and i think its safe to say that he really gave it his all if you look at those pictures from his visit to washington d. C. But at the same time theres a huge difference between what we see is going on between trump and mccraw all those hugs and kisses and the hand sakes and all that and on the other hand what macross said while he was in the United States which was extremely critical of almost any field of policy that donald trump has been involved in so hes a true european you could say when it comes to the topics but hes well hes an exception when it comes to how he treats donald trump especially if you compare how im going to back up the german chancellor treats donald trump all right our Boston Bureau chief max often in the german city of often tonight max thank you very much. Here the big table with me now is luke entre he is the berlin correspondent with the french daily log in your own good to have you on the show loop so you know we watch the interview there with mr macro and so we can say that micro appears to be tweak. On the shoulder at least the question is can from germany in the u. K. Have a response to avoid economical sanctions on their own new European Companies that still wants to do business with iran in the future i mean thats going to require a united effort right because were talking about europe against the United States here i mean we were talking about a collision course is going to be the european leader who can spearhead this type of unity and this type of force against washington thats the tool and will mean. Its toward washington because now hes responding like the good guy the then with the person that wants to greet to bring an old friend within the International Community and to keep in here he showed. That he still sounded a little bit like that in that interview that he Still Believes that the hand has to be extended to double draw to keep him in the international fold but what about. The french people do you do they have the patience that mr macro hands when it comes to dealing with donald trump theres already some criticism against him last week for example when Donald Trumps spoke at the n. R. A. Said nothing about the outrages quotes from donald trump on the various attacks. There are already criticism. So nice to him doesnt give anything back for our viewers i mean just remind the trumps that if. If regions or if the french had been able to have guns then there would have been fewer deaths because they would have been able to defend themselves and i think the former president called it what di
