The United States` allies in Europe have criticised its recent decisions to restrict oil trade with Iran and to limit the extension of waivers for nuclear non-proliferation projects.
"We ... take note with regret and concern of the decision by the United States not to extend waivers with regards to trade in oil with Iran," Britain`s foreign office said in a joint statement with its German and French counterparts and the European Union.
"We also note with concern the decision by the United States not to fully renew waivers for nuclear non-proliferation projects," Britain`s foreign office added.
