1:10 pm
european union but the growing rift between the e.u. and the u.s. appears to be overshadowing developments. now at the summit in germany said the iran deal had come up in their talks and that the e.u. was still determined to support the agreement despite the fact that washington has abandoned the deal. naturally we also discussed the topic of iran and the iran nuclear deal everyone in the european union says the opinion that the deal is not perfect but that we should remain in it and based on that we should conduct further negotiations with iran on other subjects such as the ballistic missile program. and so our correspondent barbara visit is at the summit in sofia and just knew from that some other chancellor merkel is reiterating that the a will actually stick with the iran didn't about what options europe has to keep this deal alive without the u.s. . there is

a political side of course to this the europeans have to side to pull together and to stand up to donald trump for the first time really in their history and this moralist signifies probably the end of illusions about cooperation was trump and nothing can be done we have to sort of for draw our own way that's the message the europeans are sending here what they can do in the practical side they are considering for instance a blocking law that would prohibit european companies to bend to american sanctions which and then on the other hand means that the e.u. would have to compensate those companies for any losses they would incur in that context it's a complicated situation but europeans are sort of considering a whole bundle of measures to counteract what might be coming from washington and they have decided to take a stand. and create is another area of tension between the e.u. and us barbara i just america has addressed one aspect of that issue craig

1:13 pm
unpredictability and even hostile action against european interests so that much is quite clear but what do you but europeans do here is a bit more nuanced they say we will not negotiate with a gun to our head so trump has to remove this threat of sanctions still hanging over them on the other hand they put our offers on the table they say we will talk for instance about liquid to gas this sale of a little bit cows to europe something that trumps once and they track about. other trade barriers that could be removed slowly but surely it's in bits in the w g o so they make offers to washington and they say we know your interests and we are ready to sort of come across we're ready to talk to you but only if you stop threatening us so that's quite clear from the position and now everybody sits here and whites what trump will do next right barbara rizzle at the e.u. summit in the bulgarian capital phil fear thank you very much. and in sport
