美法總統會談後伊核協議前景仍懸而未決

President Trump vowed on Tuesday to look for common ground with his French counterpart in dealing with Iran but made no commitment to stick with the nuclear agreement he described as "insane" and "ridiculous."

Receiving French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte Macron for a state dinner at the White House, Trump repeated his criticism of the agreement to freeze Iran's nuclear program, saying it doesn't address Tehran's missile program or its attempts to stir up unrest in the region.

The first state dinner of the Trump White House is taking place 15 months after the inauguration, relatively late compared to previous administrations which typically hosted elaborate ceremonial sitdowns by the end of their first years in office.

Tuesday's dinner is a relatively low-key affair, with few celebrities and big Washington names on the guest list.

The dinner comes after Trump and Macron called for more talks with Iran, but gave no clear sign if Trump will pull the U.S. out of the existing nuclear deal with Tehran.

Earlier in the day, Trump issued a warning to Iran. “If they restart their nuclear program, they will have bigger problems than they have ever had before,” Trump said during a meeting with Macron in the Oval Office. "You can mark it down."

Macron also wants Trump to keep American forces in northern Syria to avoid the risk of giving up the country to the Assad regime and Iran.

Trump told reporters that “I'd love to get out” of Syria where the United States has 2,000 U.S. troops seeking to eradicate the Islamic State terror group.

Trump said the United States had spent seven trillion dollars in the Middle East over an 18-year period and has “less than nothing” to show for it.川普總統星期二誓言要努力尋找與法國的共同點，聯合應對伊朗。不過，川普總統沒有承諾會繼續留在伊核協議內。他此前稱這項協議是一個“瘋狂”、“荒謬”的協議。

川普總統在白宮爲法國總統馬克龍夫婦舉辦的國宴上再次批評了這個凍結伊朗核計劃的協議，說它沒有涉及伊朗的導彈計劃及其煽動地區不穩定的企圖。

這是川普總統宣誓就職美國總統15個月以來第一次在白宮舉行國宴，比各位前任總統都晚。大多數總統在上任滿一年前都會舉行一次盛大國宴。

白宮星期二的國宴相對低調，受邀嘉賓中少有名人和華盛頓名流。

川普總統和馬克龍總統參加國宴前表示將就伊朗問題舉行更多會談，但是沒有明確的跡象顯示川普總統是否要退出世界六大國與伊朗簽署的協議。

星期二早些時候，川普總統向伊朗發出警告。他在白宮橢圓辦公室內會見馬克龍總統時說：“如果他們重啓核計劃，他們將面臨以前從未見過的大問題。這點可以記錄在案。”

馬克龍總統希望川普總統在敘利亞北部保留美國軍隊，以防止阿薩德政權和伊朗徹底掌控敘利亞。

川普總統對記者說，他希望從敘利亞撤軍。目前有大約2000美軍在敘利亞清剿伊斯蘭國恐怖組織。

川普總統說，美國18年以來在中東花了7萬億美元，但是卻一事無成。
