'America will not be held hostage to nuclear blackmail' said Mr Trump.


United States president Donald Trump has pulled the United States out of an international nuclear deal with Iran. Critics say the move raises the risk of conflict in the Middle East while upsetting US allies in Europe and bringing uncertainty to global oil supplies. Mr Trump is reimposing economic sanctions on Iran and withdrawing the United States from the landmark nuclear accord signed three years ago, explained US Politics expert, Giampiero Gramaglia.
