The European Union(EU) will continue to fully implement the Iran nuclear deal, despite U.S. President Donald Trump's decision to decertify Iran's compliance with the deal, EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini said here on Friday.
"It's not a bilateral agreement. It does not belong to any single country. It's not up to any single country to terminate it," said Mogherini at a press conference.
"We cannot afford...to dismantle a nuclear agreement this is working and delivering," she added.
Mogherini's remarks came following Trump's announcement that he had decided not to recertify to Congress Iran's compliance with the landmark deal. Trump also threatened that he may terminate the nuclear deal at any time.
According to the Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act (INRA) passed by U.S. Congress in 2015, the U.S. government is required to recertify to Congress Iran's compliance with the nuclear deal every 90 days.
