Rep. Capuano Statement On President Trump's Decision To Back Out Of Iran Nuclear Agreement

Statement

"President Trump's decision to back out of the Iran deal could very well be the most dangerous action he has taken so far. For those of us who do not want Iran to build a nuclear weapon and do not want to encourage an unnecessary war, the best we can do is hope that our European allies can convince the Iranians not to resume work on a nuclear weapon. Trump appears to be making a high stakes gamble that harsher sanctions will bring around regime change. I think most people and most nations do not like to be bullied, and I think he is almost certain to fail. Worse, Trump's action today also sends a clear message to other countries that they can no longer trust the United States under this administration to uphold our agreements."
