WASHINGTON - United States President Donald Trump is widely expected to decline to renew a 120-day waiver of sanctions that America's Congress imposed on Iran in 2012 - meaning, in effect, that the US is walking out of a multilateral nuclear deal with Iran.
Under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, which took effect in 2015, international sanctions were lifted in exchange for Teheran suspending its nuclear programme.
