Declaration by the Heads of State and Government of France, Germany and the United Kingdom
Joint statement from Prime Minister Theresa May, Chancellor Angela Merkel and President Emmanuel Macron following President Trump’s statement on the US’ Iran Strategy.

We, the Leaders of France, Germany and the United Kingdom take note of President Trump’s decision not to recertify Iran’s compliance with the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action to Congress and are concerned by the possible implications.

We stand committed to the JCPoA and its full implementation by all sides. Preserving the JCPoA is in our shared national security interest. The nuclear deal was the culmination of 13 years of diplomacy and was a major step towards ensuring that Iran’s nuclear programme is not diverted for military purposes. The JCPoA was unanimously endorsed by the UN Security Council in Resolution 2231. The International Atomic Energy Agency has repeatedly confirmed Iran’s compliance with the JCPoA through its long-term verification and monitoring programme. Therefore, we encourage the US Administration and Congress to consider the implications to the security of the US and its allies before taking any steps that might undermine the JCPoA, such as re-imposing sanctions on Iran lifted under the agreement.

At the same time as we work to preserve the JCPoA, we share concerns about Iran’s ballistic missile programme and regional activities that also affect our European security interests. We stand ready to take further appropriate measures to address these issues in close cooperation with the US and all relevant partners. We look to Iran to engage in constructive dialogue to stop de-stabilising actions and work towards negotiated solutions.

Our governments are committed to ensuring the JCPoA is maintained. Independent of the JCPOA, we need to make sure that our collective wider concerns are being addressed.

Iranian president denounces Trump's disavowal of nuclear deal

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani on Friday savaged President Trump's disavowal of the Iran nuclear deal, asserting that the agreement would not be renegotiated and proclaiming the United States more isolated than ever before.

In a televised address on Friday, Rouhani said Tehran remains committed to the agreement, and dismissed the notion that one country could simply revoke the U.N.-based Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, the 2015 deal to curb Iran's nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief.

"The great nation of Iran saw tonight once again that America took a hostile position against an international deal," Rouhani said, according to a translation provided by Press TV, an English-language news network affiliated with the Iranian government.

"Once again, the [European Union] also took a firm position against the United States. America is now more than ever isolated," he continued.

In decertifying the agreement, Rouhani said, Trump cost the U.S. international credibility, and said that Tehran would not accept any changes to the agreement.

"We will not expect anything else from you from now on. With your incorrect words, you made us more united than ever."

EU: US has no right to terminate Iran accord
In sharp rebuke to Trump, EU’s foreign policy chief says deal will stay in place.

The EU’s foreign policy chief, Federica Mogherini, said Friday that the United States had no right to unilaterally terminate the Iran nuclear accord. She called the agreement “effective” and said there had been “no violations of any of the commitments” in the deal.

At a news conference at the European Commission’s Brussels headquarters, Mogherini gave a strongly-worded rebuke of the U.S., which has been a chief ally of the EU on security matters, including the response to Russia’s military intervention in Ukraine.

Her comments were aimed directly at U.S. President Donald Trump, moments after he gave a speech in Washington saying he would not certify Iran’s compliance with the agreement, and was asking Congress to adopt legislation that would potentially trigger the reimposition of sanctions on Tehran.

“More than two years ago, exactly in July 2015, the entire international community welcomed the results of 12 years of intense negotiations on the Iran nuclear program,” Mogherini said, adding: “It is not a bilateral agreement. It does not belong to any single country. And it is not up to any single country to terminate it. It is a multilateral agreement, which was unanimously endorsed by the United Nations Security Council.”

Mogherini said the agreement — known formally as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action or JCPOA — had made the world safer, and there was no reason to believe Iran had failed to keep up its end of the bargain.

“It is a robust deal that provides guarantees and a strong monitoring mechanism so that Iran’s nuclear program is and will remain exclusively for civilian purposes only,” she said. “We cannot afford as an international community, as Europe for sure, to dismantle a nuclear agreement that is working and delivering, especially now.”

“The International Atomic Energy Agency, the IAEA, has verified eight times that Iran is implementing all of its nuclear-related commitments, following a comprehensive and strict monitoring system,” Mogherini said. “There have been no violations of any of the commitments included in the agreement.”

Mogherini noted the recent “acute nuclear threat” — an apparent reference to North Korea, which Trump has threatened to “utterly destroy.”

And she issued a remarkably stinging description of Trump’s break with the international community that suggested Washington’s credibility as the leader on global security issues was in jeopardy. Mogherini’s declaration that Europe and the international community would not follow Trump’s lead came after Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov spoke by telephone with Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif earlier on Friday to reiterate Moscow’s commitment to the nuclear agreement.

“The United States domestic process, and I underline domestic, following today’s announcement of President Trump is now in the hands of the United States Congress,” Mogherini said. “The JCPOA is not a domestic issue, but a U.N. Security Council resolution. The international community, and the European Union with it, has clearly indicated that the deal is, and will continue to be, in place.”

Manafort Had $60 Million Relationship With a Russian Oligarch

Paul Manafort, a former campaign manager for President Donald Trump, has much stronger financial ties to a Russian oligarch than have been previously reported.

An NBC News investigation reveals that $26 million changed hands in the form of a loan between a company linked to Manafort and the oligarch, Oleg Deripaska, a billionaire with close ties to the Kremlin.

The loan brings the total of their known business dealings to around $60 million over the past decade, according to financial documents filed in Cyprus and the Cayman Islands.

Manafort was forced to resign from the Trump campaign in August 2016, following allegations of improper financial dealings, charges he has strenuously denied. He is now a central figure in special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into alleged collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia. Investigators have said they are looking into Manafort's financial ties to prominent figures in Russia.

Donald Trump tells hate group that homophobes will ‘no longer be silenced’

Donald Trump has become the first president to address the conference of a recognised anti-LGBT hate group.

Trump addressed the Family Research Council’s Values Voter Summit – classed as a “hate group” – as he told the crowds their anti-LGBT views would “no longer be silenced”.

Among those in the crowd were white supremacists, far right activists and religious extremists who oppose the equality of LGBT people.

Arriving at the event, Trump said it was great “to be among friends” as he declared: “We are returning moral clarity to our view of the world.”

“I am honoured and thrilled to be the first sitting president to address this gathering of friends, so many friends,” Trump explained.

He added: “I pledged that in a Trump administration, our heritage would be cherished, protected and defended like you have never seen before.”

Trump praised a bombshell directive that gave the go-ahead for religious businesses to discriminate against LGBT people.

The ruling effectively permits anti-LGBT discrimination across the US.

They will be silenced when the Democrats win the next election and put them back in their place.

Why do I get the feeling the new Civilization game is actually much more realistic than I thought and there is an abused 12 year old playing as the USA.

This cannot continue, surely?!

He is a fascist. It will continue all the while there isn't an uprising, politically or otherwise.

I can’t see him managing to seize absolute power and so either he’ll be gone in 2020/2024 or the Republicans will grow a pair and get rid of him.

Most politicians only care about their own power, so they will need to start thinking that removing him will be better for them than keeping him. I’m not sure they’ll risk it until he goes much further than he already has.

That’s what’s scary, how far does he have to go before even the Republicans think “ok that’s enough!”?

Starting a nuclear war appears to be the red line for some, they hope to get their tax changes through before then :lol: :dread:

I want him in prison. He thoroughly deserves to be put away and see out his final days as an incarcerated disgrace.

To be fair, if Trump starts a nuclear war then they won’t have to pay tax ever again.
