French President Emmanuel Macron on Thursday urged European companies not to be intimidated by the US threats of punishment over dealing business with Iran after President Donald Trump pulled the United States out of the 2015 nuclear agreement.
Trump’s decision to withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal risks exposing European countries that have since invested in Iran to renewed US sanctions after “wind-down” periods of three to six months expire. The US president has warned European companies to pull out of Iran or face sanctions.
But Macron urged Europeans to stand up against diktats from abroad. "Don't be weak," said the 40-year-old president, AFP reported.
