That's despite revised EU legislation called "blocking statute". It's aimed at nullifying US legal action against European firms which defy US sanctions on Iran.
Germany's foreign minister has called for independent payment channels to be created which could avoid US sanctions. And French President Emmanuel Macron says Europe's historical partner 'seems to turn his back on this common history'. So, how wide is the rift across the Atlantic?

Sanctions have been around for decades, but came to the fore after the 9/11 attacks on the US in 2001. They are now again present when diplomacy does not work.
President Donald Trump has been imposing them more widely and more often. The latest were over Turkey’s detention of US pastor Andrew Brunson, which has triggered one of the most serious rifts with a NATO ally.
