Boris Johnson risks jeopardising a free-trade deal with the US unless he pulls the UK out of the Iran nuclear deal, a leading Republican voice on Iran has said.
The warning by Richard Goldberg, until last week a member of the White House National Security Council (NSC), highlights the dilemmas UK foreign and defence policy-makers will face as Britain tries to steer its own course between Washington and Brussels after Brexit.
Goldberg told the BBC: “The question for Prime Minister Johnson is: ‘As you are moving towards Brexit, as your supporters of Brexit really do not like the nuclear deal, want you to get out of the nuclear deal … what are you going to do post-January 31 as you come to Washington to negotiate a free-trade agreement with the United States?’”
