Macron told Fox News in an interview on Sunday, he thinks the 2015 deal curbing Iran's nuclear ambitions is imperfect.

But the French leader, who begins a state visit to Washington Today, asked, "What do you have as a better option?" Trump has vowed to withdraw from the Iran deal by May 12 unless US and European negotiators agree to fix what he calls its serious flaws.
