The European Union is underlining its support for the Iran nuclear agreement as U.S. President Donald Trump prepares to announce his verdict on the future of the deal.
European Commission spokeswoman Maja Kocijancic said Tuesday that "the agreement is working and our commitment to continue with implementation remains."
She said the International Atomic Energy Agency has certified 10 times that Iran is complying with its obligations.
Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu say Tehran has lied about its nuclear ambitions and cannot be trusted.
Kocijancic said "this is not an agreement based on trust, but an agreement based on facts."
Her boss, EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini, helps supervise the way Iran and major world powers implement the deal and settle any disputes.
