Something strange is going on. Why is the EU so keen to shoe-horn America back into the nuclear deal with Iran? Former US president Donald Trump ditched the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) deal three years ago and imposed heavy sanctions on the mullahs’ regime under his ‘maximum pressure’ campaign. Since then, the Iranians have boasted about how they have flouted the terms of the deal by accelerating their advanced centrifuge program and enriching uranium to almost weapons grade fissile status. The Biden administration is being ultra-cautious. But the EU’s high Representative for Foreign Affairs & Security, the Spanish...

The EU’s new foreign affairs chief, Josep Borrell, will meet with Iranian leaders on Monday, as the EU seeks to salvage the tattered 2015 nuclear deal with Iran. The meeting comes amid a policy split between European signatories to the nuclear deal and the US.

Borrell: Poland, Lithuania were U.S. Trojan horse By TBT staff VILNIUS - European Parliament President Josep Borrell Fontelles nearly triggered a new wave of East-versus-West controversy in Europe after he reportedly lashed out at Poland and Lithuania for meddling in Ukraine’s “orange revolution.” Borrell had been speaking at a closed-door session of an economic forum in Madrid in December when he supposedly said the Ukrainian crisis was resolved thanks to EU efforts and not because of mediation on behalf of Aleksander Kwasniewski and Valdas Adamkus. Poland and Lithuania, claimed Borrell, had not been instrumental and had essentially been “under U.S....

Borrell backs off From Warsaw Business Journal Chairman of the European Parliament Josep Borrell, who heavily criticized Poland for being pro-American and presenting a different stance to the EU on the political crisis in Ukraine, has taken back his words and apologized to President Aleksander Kwaœniewski in a telephone conversation. "I am not anti-Polish," said Borrell, going on to say that he was misunderstood. (Poland A.M.
