(BBC, 2019) "Donald Trump abandoned the Iran nuclear deal to spite Barack Obama, according to a leaked memo written by the UK's former ambassador in the US...Sir Kim Darroch described the move as an act of 'diplomatic vandalism,' according to the Mail on Sunday...The paper says the memo was written after the then Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson appealed to the US in 2018 to stick with the deal."
