Russia is willing to consider a French proposal to negotiate an additional agreement on Iran’s nuclear program to address U.S. President Donald Trump’s concerns over the current international accord, a top diplomat said.
France’s idea “deserves consideration and we can’t say we are rejecting it out of hand,” Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said in an interview with RBC newspaper published Tuesday. He later confirmed his comments by text message.
