WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday said no one is authorized to speak to Iran on behalf of the United States, and he accused French President Emmanuel Macron of sending "mixed signals" to Tehran over possible talks.

 

"I know Emmanuel means well, as do all others, but nobody speaks for the United States but the United States itself,"Trump said in a series of tweets.

 

It was not immediately clear what Trump was referring to and the White House declined to comment, but a report earlier this week said Macron had invited Iranian President Hassan Rouhani to this month's G7 summit to meetTrump. A French diplomat denied the report on Wednesday.

 

European leaders are seeking to defuse the brewing confrontation between Tehran and Washington after Trumppulled out of the Iran nuclear last year and renewed sanctions in an effort to push a new deal under the U.S. Republican president.

 

Tehran has responded with a series of moves, including seizing a British tanker in the Gulf and retreating from some of its commitments to limit its nuclear activity made under the deal.

 

The crisis is expected to be a focus at the G7 summit later this month. Trump and his administration officials have previously said Trump is open to talks with Iran and that the United States does not want war with Iran.

Europe in general not interested i wars, don't give a crap for Iran nuclear programs or bombs, or what it means for the security of Israel and region, all they care about is doing business in the billions and cheap oil from Iran, and are not happy for Trump stirring the pot of hostilities and aggressions...

So that why for years before the deal was negotiated they signed on to the sanctions regime and with it lost billions of dollars that would have gone to their economy? Because they didn't care? 

Nonsense. The agreement was working and Trump blew it up. The onus is on him.

A direct attack on the world peacemakers to derail any possibility of a resolution that is not dictated by America’s worst president in its short history, herein demonstrating an astounding amount of negligence toward world peace and security.... which includes its own security.
