"President Trump also called fora new and comprehensive deal that addresses all aspects ofIrans destabilizing behavior, including inYemen and Syria," the release said. "The President further underscored the need torebalance trade withEurope."

At the same time, discussing the tariffs issue, Theresa May called this move "unjustified."

"The Prime Minister raised the US decision to apply tariffs to EU steel and aluminum imports, which she said was unjustified and deeply disappointing They agreed to discuss this and wider issues of free and fair global trade further at the G7 summit later in the week," the UK press service said.

The UK prime minister also underlined the need to safeguard jobs "that would potentially be affected by the decision."

On Thursday, Washington announced it would impose a 25-percent steel tariff and a 10-percent aluminum tariff on the European Union, Canada, and Mexico, effective June 1. The move came after months of talks on possible limits.
