Originally posted on Facebook on May 8, 2018. Live on the set of the i24NEWS Special Edition in New York with Shayna Estulin, on the day the United States withdrew from the Iran nuclear deal. France, Germany and the United Kingdom answered with one voice, as "the E3": "They are saying that they are committed to stay in the deal with Iran." In France and all over Europe, the decision was seen as "a diplomatic earthquake", yet the White House readout of the phone call between Emmanuel Macron and Donald Trump that afternoon was "kind of the shortest". Less than two weeks after Macron's state dinner in Washington, and after Angela Merkel's visit, "it's like the past three weeks never happened" for European diplomacy. Macron "had no hope of […] succeeding to keep the U.S. inside this deal" when he came to Washington: his real goal was to keep American troops in Syria, "and that he might have succeeded."
