The administration of U.S. President Donald Trump, who slammed the Iran nuclear deal as a candidate, on Wednesday will extend sanctions relief for Iran that was called for under the 2015 pact, two U.S. officials told Reuters.

The officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the administration would formally announce it was renewing sanctions waivers that were granted to Iran as part of the deal, under which Tehran agreed to limit its nuclear program.

The decision to renew the waivers represents a major early policy choice on the nuclear deal for the Trump administration and indicates that despite some promises during the 2016 presidential campaign to "dismantle the disastrous deal with Iran," Trump has decided at least for now to maintain it.
