川普：即使伊朗核協議失效也不許伊朗製造核武器
Standing alongside Germany's chancellor, U.S. President Donald Trump emphasized on Friday that Iran will not be permitted to build a nuclear arsenal, even if a deal intended to prevent that scenario collapses.
"They're not going to be doing nuclear weapons, you can bank on it," Trump told reporters.
Asked about possible actions, including use of force, that he could take if Iran restarts its nuclear weapons program if the deal made in 2015, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), is abandoned, the president replied: "I don't talk about whether or not I'd use military force."
German Chancellor Angela Merkel, appearing with Trump at the news conference following their Friday meetings, described the JCPOA as "anything but perfect," adding "it will not solve all the problems of Iran.
She described it as one piece to limit Iran's bad actions, while saying Berlin considers it of "prime important" to contain threats from Iran as it exerts geopolitical influence in Syria, which has been wracked by years of civil war.
Merkel said her government would continue to be in very close discussions with the United States as the president nears a decision on the Iranian nuclear accord, signed in 2015 by Iran with China, France, Germany, Russia, the United Kingdom, the United States and the European Union.
The Trump administration is required to recertify to the U.S. Congress every 90 days that Iran is complying with the deal. The next deadline is May 12.
The U.S. president repeatedly has heaped scorn on the agreement, including referring to it as a "disgrace," "stupid" and the "worst deal ever negotiated."美國總統川普星期五在和德國總理默克爾舉行的記者會上說，即使防止伊朗獲得核武的協議失效，也不許伊朗建立核武庫。
川普對記者說：“他們將不會製造核武器，你可以相信這一點。”
有記者問到，如果2015年達成的伊朗核協議失效，而伊朗恢復它的核武器項目，他可能採取哪些行動，包括軍事行動。川普回答說：“我不談論我是否會使用武力。”
德國總理默克爾星期五會晤川普之後和他一同舉行了記者會。她說，伊朗核協議“很不完善”，“不能解決伊朗的所有問題”。
她說，這個協議是限制伊朗惡劣行爲的一種手段，但是，柏林認爲限制伊朗的威脅是“非常重要的”。伊朗正在對連年內戰的敘利亞施加地緣政治影響。
默克爾說，在川普總統接近就伊朗核協議做出決定之際，德國政府將繼續同美國保持非常密切的磋商。
按照美國國會的要求，川普政府必須每隔90天向國會確認伊朗在遵守協議。下一個期限是5月12日。
川普多次對這項協議表示輕蔑，包括使用“丟臉”、“愚蠢”和“最糟糕的協議”等字眼來形容這項協議。
