damien, if we expect this to go ahead, what would be the response in brussels have the concerns theydy expressed?” brussels have the concerns they have already expressed? i think deep disappointment. if that is the case that mr trump doesn't just disappointment. if that is the case that mr trump doesn'tjust impose sanctions but secondary sanctions, the key point there is that extends it not just to the key point there is that extends it notjust to preventing american companies and banks doing business with iran but european companies around the world. the un has said it wa nts to around the world. the un has said it wants to keep this deal in place and believes it was a significant triumph for global diplomacy, all of these countries coming together to convince iran to halt its programme, intrusive inspections, ten times the inspectors have said iran is keeping to its deal, they believe it has made the middle east place. boris johnson has called on the americans, he said, not to throw the baby out with the bath water. this would be that in the eu's view and their concern is it could
