-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Iran has 60 days to save the landmark 2015 Iran nuclear agreement,
following President Trump's decision to pull the U.S. out of the
landmark agreement. The Trump administration is now threatening to
impose sanctions on European companies that do business with Iran. This
is national security adviser John Bolton being questioned by CNN's Jake
Tapper.

Jake Tapper: "Is the U.S. going to impose sanctions on European
companies that continue to do business with Iran?"

John Bolton: "I think I did give the answer. And the answer"-

Jake Tapper: "But you said, 'We'll see.'"

John Bolton: "The answer is, it's possible."

Jake Tapper: "It's possible."

John Bolton: "It depends on the conduct of other governments."
