*IRAN NUCLEAR DEAL*


US PRESIDENT Donald Trump has indicated that he may agree to 'new deal' negotiated by American and European allies-

That would preserve the Iran deal if it was strong enough.

Hosting French President Emanuel Macron, Trump, in response to a question about Europe's position on the nuclear agreement, said, ''We're fairly close to understanding each other. Our one-on-one went very well.''

Macron said : ''On Iran, we will look at it in a wider regional context, for example there's Syria and the situation in the whole region.

We have a common objective, we want to male sure there's no escalation and no nuclear proliferation in the region. We now need to find the right path forward. ''

Macron arrived at the White House  on Monday for the first state visit during Trump's presidency, intended to use his relationship with Trump to persuade him to preserve the Iran deal.

And to reinforce the Europe's message ahead of German Chancellor Angela Merkel's visit on Friday.

On Tuesday, the two presidents met along with their advisers at the White House Cabinet Room and later briefed the media that their talks focused on the Iran Nuclear deal.

France wants the three-year old nuclear agreement with Iran extended next month. The Europeans want an assurance that the US will be abide by the agreement.
