AP� European Union foreign ministers are urging the U.S. Congress to safeguard the Iran nuclear agreement after President Donald Trump withdrew his support for the deal.

French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said in Luxembourg on Monday that �we hope Congress will not call this agreement into question.�

Dutch counterpart Bert Koenders said the agreement concerns �the safety of the world. I hope also that the U.S. Congress will realize this and take the right decisions.�

Trump �decertified� the deal Friday and directed Congress to make it more stringent.

Belgium�s foreign minister, Didier Reynders, said that walking away would compromise trust in any future negotiations on North Korea�s nuclear ambitions.

He said: �We must be able to demonstrate that when a nuclear agreement has been concluded that we respect it.�
