Trump Withdraws U.S. From One-Sided Iran Nuclear DealBy Mark Landler May 8, 2018
WASHINGTON President Trump declared on Tuesday that he was pulling out of the Iran nuclear deal, unraveling the signature foreign policy achievement of his predecessor, Barack Obama, and isolating the United States among its Western allies.
This was a horrible one-sided deal that should have never, ever been made, Mr. Trump said at the White House in announcing his decision. It didnt bring calm, it didnt bring peace, and it never will.
Mr. Trumps announcement, while long anticipated and widely telegraphed, plunges Americas relations with European allies into deep uncertainty. They have committed to staying in the deal, raising the prospect of a diplomatic and economic clash as the United States reimposes stringent sanctions on Iran.
It also raises the prospect of increasing tensions with Russia and China, which also are parties to the agreement.

(63,788 posts)worked off his ass for this Iran deal. Trump is such a POS. Doing what Putin told him to do let the US be isolated when other world powers will take over while our own institutions are being gutted right before our very eyes. Crap.

(45,380 posts)so they figure they might as well use it. North Korea has outsmarted Trump and Cuba is too close so that leaves Iran.
When's the last time Iran did anything to Americans? 1979?
