Rep. Gallego Statement on Trump Withdrawal from Iran Nuclear Deal
WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) issued the following statement about President Trump's decision to withdraw from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) with Iran:
"President Trump's reckless decision to withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal is a terrible mistake that will make it easier for Iran to develop nuclear weapons.
"Let's be clear – a nuclear-armed Iran is an international threat. While the JCPOA was not perfect, President Trump has offered no alternative that would provide better security for our nation and the world.
"The decision to withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal will isolate America, undermine our credibility with our allies, and make us less safe.
"Donald Trump should know that reneging on deals will make it harder for him and future Presidents to negotiate future deals on behalf of the country."
