French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot says European powers "have an extremely powerful leverage" in nuclear negotiations with Iran, unlike what Donald Trump says.
"If Iran, which did not respect the commitments made 10 years ago when we reached an agreement with them, refuses to negotiate a strict and lasting framework for its nuclear program, then France, along with its European partners, can simply — with a single letter — reinstate the global embargo on weapons, nuclear equipment, as well as banking and insurance, which had been lifted 10 years ago," the French foreign minister said.
"We have this power, that's why one way or another we will play an essential role in these negotiations," he told La Chaîne Info (LCI).
