Trying to keep nuclear deal alive, EU unveils Iran aid |
2018-08-24 |
[IsraelTimes] The European Union ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing... is announcing its first financial support package to help bolster Iran’s flagging economy, part of the bloc’s commitment to keep the Iran nuclear deal alive. The European Commission unveils Thursday a first tranche of 18 million euros ($21 million) ‐ 8 million for the private sector, 8 million to cope with environmental problems and 2 million for drug abuse. It’s part of a wider 50-million-euro effort to help Iran cope with economic and social challenges. The EU considers the nuclear deal vital for global security. It’s tried to keep the agreement alive since President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... removed the US in May. The move triggered sanctions that hit some European companies doing business in Iran. Tehran announced Monday that French oil company Total SA had left. |
