Reuters - France�s foreign minister said on Wednesday that the 2015 nuclear restraint deal with Iran was �not dead� despite Donald Trump�s decision to pull the United States out from the agreement, and added that French President Emmanuel Macron would speak later in the day to Iranian counterpart Hassan Rouhani.

�The deal is not dead. There�s an American withdrawal from the deal but the deal is still there,� the minister, Jean-Yves Le Drian, told French radio station RTL.



Le Drian�s views were echoed by those of French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire, who also told French radio that Trump�s decision on Iran was a mistake and that the United States should not consider itself as the world�s �economic policeman�.
