Sputnik - The US President reportedly engaged in a heated conversation with British Prime Minister Theresa May, who had called him to congratulate him on the Republican Party�s performance in the midterm elections.




The US President berated British Prime Minister Theresa May over�the phone while flying Air Force One to�Paris last Friday, The Washington Post reported.

Trump reportedly criticised May over�the lack of�action from�the British side in�Iran, questioned her over�the Brexit deal and complained about�European-American trade relations. US and European officials, briefed on�the conversation, told The WP that Prime Minister May and her aides were particularly shaken by�this call, despite�having endured criticism from�Trump before.

May had argued before�that Iran is meeting all its obligations under�the 2015 JCPOA nuclear deal despite�Trump exiting the agreement and reimposing sanctions.
�We believe that [the nuclear deal] should stay in�place, and others involved in�putting that deal together believe that it should stay in�place,� May said in�an interview aired in�September on�CBS's "Face the Nation" while noting that �there are other aspects of�Iran's behaviour that we need to�be dealing with, too.�


The US introduced the second package of�anti-Iranian sanctions last week. The previous package was imposed in�August after�US President Donald Trump ordered the US to�withdraw from�the 2015 JCPOA nuclear deal back in�May 2017. Other countries included in�the deal cited a UN nuclear watchdog report which said Iran was complying with�the conditions of�the deal.
