Macron confirms France, U.S. share common objective on Iran

France President Emmanuel Macron confirmed that his country and the United States share the common objective of preventing Iran obtaining nuclear arms and new international negotiations need to be opened for that goal to be met, Reuters reported.

Accusing Tehran of "championing terrorism" across the Middle East, President Donald Trump, for his part, said Iran was failing as a nation following tough U.S. sanctions, but that he was ready to talk to the Iranians.
