shared by lmunch on 30 Apr 21 - No Cached

  • Johnson is also to use his speech, extracts of which were released in advance by the Foreign Office, to praise the Iran nuclear deal, another diplomatic effort repeatedly condemned by Trump.
  • While the government is careful to avoid directly criticising Trump, Johnson is making it very clear by highlighting Tillerson’s method that he does not support the US president’s notably more aggressive approach.
