MOSCOW (Reuters) - Moscow considers comments by U.S. President Donald Trump on the nuclear deal with Iran as "extremely negative", Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said in remarks carried by RIA state news agency on Saturday.

Trump gave the Iran nuclear deal a final reprieve on Friday but told European allies and Congress they had to work with him to fix "the disastrous flaws" in the pact or face a U.S. exit.
