French President Emmanuel Macron stood before a joint session of Congress to argue that the U.S. should remain a part of the Iran nuclear deal. Macron said that France's objective for Iran is clear -- "Iran shall never possess any nuclear weapons. Not now, not in 5 years not in 10 years, not ever."
He added, "It is true to say this agreement may not address all concerns and every important concerns, this is true, but we should not abandon it without having something substantial and more substantial instead." Macron again suggested a new deal that France and the U.S. can write together to address existing concerns, CBS News reported.
"France will not leave JCPOA because we signed it," said Macron, using the acronym for the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action. "But what I want to do and what we decided together with your president is that we can work on a more comprehensive deal addressing all these concerns."
