The u. S. Withdrawal from the Iran Nuclear Deal u. S. President trump says it was all about americas security well tonight from london to paris to berlin leaders are contemplating europes security what to do when your closest ally suddenly seems like your newest threat i burned off in berlin this is the day. Ill be hot for the iranian nation i say mr trump you cannot do a damn thing that we have to deal with iran is not dead. But it is a show to us once again that we will face more responsibility in europe we have on. The phone who i kid you we want to preserve that at all costs did she state speak in the strongest terms on the lunacy of the actions that the president of theUnited 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 the its done fine thank you it was put on in germany france and Great Britain have to decide that we continue to it he had to the agreement. Will to me there is talk of continuing to deal with these three European Countries i dont choose these three countries im. Not going to. 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 humiliation from the Paris Climate Accord to try. We
need to 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 the 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 it 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 are 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 irans policy and they have a 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. But 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 my 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 air india 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 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 within 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
equipment needs to be completed on Nuclear Activities until Two Thousand Twenty Five ballistic activities in the region and regional activities of iran in 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 what 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. While 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 the activities for now and to limit escalation and this is why we have to Work Together with our partners in order to limit an escalation 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. A proposal thats sufficient for iran. But this is going to be our 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 well its the
agreement that weve signed balls. Its everything over 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 but its important that we all remain obsessed by its stability and peace. In the region. But 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 and you have a macro and to resent maybe 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 do 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 sad and sahar a zone against islamist terrorism so you see we have some disagreements but
nevertheless and most importantly we have a common interest that 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 to order which we created at the end of the Second World War and that is sometimes in jeopardy where we have to create a strong moderate literalism as i said in washington. France germany and Great Britain and to go she had to together with iran now in europe you have reform ideas that we dont endorse are you disappointed with and that american. 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 or to say i am disappointed we Work Together we are partners. If you cannot manage for instance to amend the treaty if germany does not have a solution and this is to conclude if we dont find a solution does the e. U. Still have a future i mean 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 suggesting and then i have to go on working and why some warm 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 are now 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
also the use of Ballistic Missiles and the general role iran is playing in the region we dont have any idea if 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 they had sakes and all that and on the other hand what mcchrystal 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 prosperity from next 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 look in your own its good to have you on the show so you know we watch the interview there with mr macro and can you say that he is a weaker or a stronger president now that the u. S. President has exited the Iran Nuclear Deal. We can say that heading and lobster
diplomats the. Six seats you bring to keep the americans at the table on the iranian deal and so we can say thats 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. 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 that that tool and will mean. Toward washington because now hes responding like the good guy the then with the person that wants to greeds to bring an old friend within the international
have been able to defend themselves and i think the former president called it what disgraceful right yeah but with silence and. If thats what us was that he didnt say anything what about the the the Political Animal emanuel microland we know just that when he was in washington two weeks ago he obviously these public displays of affection with donald trump got a lot of headlines and he seemed for at least for a moment like the president s new best friend and then he gave a speech to congress and in that speech he basically deconstructed the entire premise of america first. So was he speaking out of both sides of his melt in washington and do the french do they see that i mean how do they judge the president i mean did that thats. The fin line has to pass he has to go alone to keep
a close tie to the United States but criticism but doing criticism on leaving the pirates agreement on the Climate Fairing Trade Wars iran the cannot be only denies guy that shakes and with and it looks there was donald trump he has to make is to make its point also but not in a conference that youve waited until now and thats the question also can you change i think you do a very confront that youve stands in the world washington with the credible i dont know i mean he doesnt have to do that when hes dealing with london or particularly when hes dealing with berlin we still hear about the macro and miracle does this do were leading europe into a different future. Do you get the sense that the strength of the. Shift if you will is it still there compared to a year ago. Difficult to say on the public display of affection with the new
america is also on the same or same line and wants to show that paris and berlin are going to gather on the european topics but we are a few weeks away from a particularly important deadline for a read of the reform of the European Union and the differences between paris and berlin are very deep expression only on the Euro Zone Topic where. Some proposal and believe in the conservative and on the market are not really. Willing to go alone shes not as excited about it as he is and nail of course they have this albatross around their neck the Nuclear Crisis while all of that served in to put a brake on. You know European Union visions. And to resume are able to create or to find a deterrent to avoid the u. S. To put sanctions on Foreign Companies dealing with iran then maybe it will bring
the europeans closer together and maybe its a chance that they find a way for reforming the. Well you know will have to see what happens there we know with that were dealing with the transatlantic ties at the moment a day or two days can be an eternity.
