The Prime Minister and Foreign Secretary have spoken to their US counterparts, making clear that the deal is working and is a UK priority. They have also spoken regularly with their French and German counterparts on this issue. Given President Trump's announcement of 13 October that he will not recertify Iran's compliance with the deal, we are looking at the detail of US proposals and engaging with counterparts in the US, Europe and Iran to examine the implications as we work to preserve the JCPOA.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 20/10/2017 12:26:29 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
