Trump: Deal so ‘rotten’ US must withdraw from it

Trump says:

The nuclear deal doesn’t stop Iran from developing “missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads.”

“Finally, the deal does nothing to constrain Iran’s activities, including its support for terrorism. Since the agreement, Iran’s bloody ambitions have grown only more brazen.

“Given these glaring flaws, I announced last October it must be renegotiated or terminated. Three months later I made clear if the deal can’t be fixed, the US won’t be party to the agreement.

“Over last six months, we’ve engaged extensively with allies across the world and friends in the Middle East. We are unified in our understanding of the threat and in our conviction that Iran must never acquire nuclear weapons.

“It is clear to me that we cannot prevent an Iranian nuclear bomb under the decaying and rotten structure of the current agreement. The Iran deal is defective at its core. If we do nothing, we know exactly what will happen. In a short time, the world’s leading state sponsor of terror will be on the cusp of acquiring the world’s most dangerous weapon.

“Therefore I’m announcing that the United States will withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal.”
