Asked by:
Fabian Hamilton (Labour)

Answer

​Since President Trump's announcement of his decision not to re-certify the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action to Congress, we have engaged with the US and other international partners to explore the implications and make clear our concerns. The Prime Minister made clear to President Trump the UK's strong commitment to the deal, which is vitally important for UK and regional security. The Foreign Secretary visited the US on 8 and 9 November and spoke with the Administration and Congress to make the same point.
