President Trump backed a joint G7 leaders' statement that welcomed the deal he reached with Iran to end the war. The statement noted that a follow-on agreement would be needed to address Iran's ballistic missile program, an issue not covered in the memorandum of understanding scheduled for signing on Friday.
The G7 statement said future negotiations with Iran would benefit from participation by a wider group of regional and international actors. It specifically mentioned the UN nuclear weapons agency, the IAEA, as one participant that could add value to those talks.
The memorandum of understanding between Iran and the United States is due to be signed Friday. It does not include provisions addressing ballistic missiles.
