EU push to save Iran deal gets frosty reception on Capitol Hill
EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini faced a tough audience with Republicans threatening new sanctions on Iran.
The European Union’s top diplomat got a frosty reception on Capitol Hill today as she lobbied lawmakers to preserve the nuclear deal with Iran.
Speaking at a press conference this afternoon, EU High Representative Federica Mogherini expressed confidence that US lawmakers would not kill the hard-fought agreement. US President Donald Trump last month refused to certify that the deal meets congressional requirements and tasked Congress with unilaterally strengthening the deal through the threat of sanctions.
