Caen, France, Jun 6, 2019, SPA -- France 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, President Emmanuel Macron said on Thursday, 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. -- SPA 16:40 LOCAL TIME 13:40 GMT 0011 www.spa.gov.sa/w1115212
