(ANSA-AFP) - BERLIN, FEB 6 - The foreign ministers of
Germany, France, Britain and the United States on Friday said
they wanted "to revive" the transatlantic relationship,
following their first in-depth talks since President Joe Biden
took office. "The foreign ministers agreed that they want to
revive the traditionally close transatlantic partnership and
tackle global challenges together in future," the German foreign
ministry said in a statement. "This first, in-depth exchange
between the foreign ministers since President Biden's
inauguration was characterised by a trusting and constructive
atmosphere." The European foreign ministers and their new US
counterpart Antony Blinken discussed the Iran nuclear deal,
which has been in tatters since former President Donald Trump
pulled out of the pact in 2018. "The E3 and the US discussed how
a united approach could address our shared concerns towards
Iran," tweeted British Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab, with E3
referring to the three European signatories to the 2015 Iran
deal. French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian on Twitter
described the talks as an "important conversation on Iran" and
handling nuclear and regional security challenges "together".
