"The leaders of Britain, France, and Germany, who otherwise struggle to find common ground on issues like Brexit, issued a joint statement in which they said they “take note of” Trump’s decision “and are concerned by the possible implications.”
“We encourage the U.S administration and Congress to consider the implications to the security of the U.S. and its allies before taking any steps that might undermine the JCPoA”—the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, as the Iran deal is formally known—such as re-imposing sanctions on Iran lifted under the agreement,” they added.
It’s becoming a pattern with the U.S. relationship with Europe, forged through two world wars, cemented by American values and largesse in the years after World War II when Europe was in ruins, and strengthened through the idea of collective defense against possible Soviet aggression during the Cold War. Since Trump assumed office in January, he has abandoned the Paris climate accord, in addition to criticizing free trade—a cornerstone of the U.S.-created world order of the past seven decades."
