Merkel was speaking at a press conference
following talks with her Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin, with
Germany at odds with Russia over its support for the government of Syrian President Bashar Assad and its role in the conflict in eastern Ukraine. Merkel said the EU is "currently discussing" a law that would block US sanctions on European companies wanting to invest in Iran.
Germany and Russia's agreement on the importance of the Iran nuclear deal is a rare moment of concurrence between the two countries. Relations have been marred by differences over Moscow's support for Syria's President Bashar Assad, its annexation of Crimea and its role in the subsequent conflict in eastern Ukraine, among other things.
Putin found warm words on Donald Trump, saying "I understand the US president, he protects his business interests. He wants to push his product to the European market." According to Putin, "Donald is not just the US president; he is also a strong, good entrepreneur."
Europeans consider the deal as key to regional security and fear that the US pullout could lead to Iran's relaunching its program to acquire nuclear weapons. They are also concerned that Washington's reintroduction of sanctions on Iran threatens their economic interests in the country.

Akeem: Sure, such is life. At times life , we seek for support from people we least trust. That is what Merkel is doing just to keep a deal intact. Merkel had been against Putin over various underlining issues.
