U.S. Representative Dave Trott (MI-11), Michigan's only member of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, today released the following statement in response to President Obama's nuclear agreement with Iran:
"This is a bad deal for America. From the beginning of this debate, I have warned that President Obama's plan to offer major concessions to Iran in exchange for little more than a slowdown in their nuclear program places our nation and our allies at risk. The president seems more focused on his legacy than he is on negotiating a strong agreement. Rather than stepping away from this bad deal when he had the chance, President Obama decided to double-down on his belief that if we are just nice to the Iranians they will give up on their nuclear ambitions. But the American people don't trust the Iranians and they don't trust this deal. And in the coming weeks, this debate will move to Congress where I will be working with my colleagues on both sides to stop this misguided agreement and advance real solutions to end Iran's quest for a nuclear bomb."
