British leader defends Iran deal in meetings with Republicans

British Prime Minister Theresa May is expected to urge US President Donald Trump not to mess with the Iran nuclear deal when she meets with him Jan. 27, a rare piece of good news for the pact’s embattled supporters.

Trump throughout the campaign vowed to renegotiate what he’s called “the worst deal ever.” But he’s also eager to strike a good relationship with May, a key potential ally as the new US administration reorders its traditional alliances in favor of closer bilateral ties with like-minded countries.
