CBS News - French President Emmanuel Macronhas called his friend and ally U.S. President Trump to say he's very worried about tensions in the Middle East, after Trump's decision to withdraw from the Iran nuclear accord. Macron's office said the two leaders spoke Saturday and the French leader expressed his "great concern about stability" in the region.

Macron strongly opposes Mr. Trump's pullout from the 2015 global deal curbing Iran's nuclear activities. Hostilities between Iran and Israel have already escalated in recent days. Last month,Macron told CBS News' Face the Nation anchor Margaret Brennanthat he believed Mr. Trump would exit the deal for "domestic reasons."

"My view is that there is a big risk he will leave," Macron said.

Macron and Mr. Trump also discussed trade issues. European governments are scrambling to save billions of dollars in trade with Iran that resumed thanks to the 2015 accord.

In addition, France and the EU are pressing Washington for exemption fromMr. Trump's steel and aluminum tariffs.
