ROME, May 8 (Xinhua) -- Europe will stand by the international nuclear accord with Iran, EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini said in a live press statement in Rome on Tuesday in response to U.S. President Donald Trump's announcement that the U.S. is withdrawing from the deal.

"The EU is determined to preserve it," she said. "We expect the rest of the international community to continue to preserve it, for the sake of collective security." Enditem
