EVIAN-LES-BAINS, France, June 17 (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday defended the U.S. deal with Iran in his remarks at the close of a G7 summit in France, saying he did not want to see an economic catastrophe that could have been triggered by a continued war in the Middle East.
“So the one thing I didn’t want to see is, I didn’t want to see economic catastrophe. If you kept this going, that could have happened,” Trump told reporters in the lakeside resort of Evian-les-Bains.
