The European Union head of foreign affairs says the EU will stand by the nuclear agreement with Iran, setting up a potential conflict with U.S. President-elect Donald Trump, who has condemned the deal.
Federica Mogherini on January 16 insisted that the accord served Europe’s security needs and was "proof that diplomacy works and delivers."
At the same EU ministers meeting, British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson also told AFP that the accord must be maintained.
Trump has consistently criticized the agreement with Iran, this weekend denouncing it as "one of the worst deals ever made."
