RFERL:

U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson is meeting on January 22 with top British officials for talks expected to be dominated by Iran's nuclear agreement with world powers.

London is the first leg of Tillerson's nearly week-long trip to Europe that will also take him to Paris, Warsaw, and the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

The tour comes amid behind-the-scenes negotiations over the fate of a landmark agreement to curb Iran's nuclear program in exchange for easing crippling international sanctions targeting Tehran.

"As you know, we really emphasize close coordination with the British in particular and the French in our efforts to close the gaps in [the agreement] and in [the] next steps on how we curtail Iranian malign influence in the region," a State Department official told reporters on January 19. "So I think that'll be a very high priority in his conversations."
