(ANSA) - WASHINGTON, 19 FEB - The United States is for dialogue and diplomacy but must respond to Iran's destabilizing activities: Joe Biden said this during his speech at the Munich Conference.
Shortly before, Angela Merkel had affirmed her commitment "to bring new momentum into the negotiations". Responding to a question about Iran's request to the US to avoid sanctions, he said: "I also spoke to President Rohani on the phone a few days ago. Now we must be careful that no problems arise about who takes the first step", he said. "Everyone agrees that this agreement should have another chance," added the chancellor.
