Trump: Nuke deal was supposed to stop an Iranian nuke, but won’t

Trump says:

“In theory, the so-called Iran deal was supposed to protect the United States and its allies from the lunacy of an Iranian nuclear bomb, a weapon that will only endanger the survival of the Iranian regime.

“In fact, the deal allowed Iran to continue enriching uranium and over time reach the brink of nuclear breakout. It lifted crippling sanctions in exchange for very weak limits on its nuclear activity and no limits at all on its other malign behavior.

“In other words, at the point where the US had maximum leverage, this disastrous deal gave this regime — and it’s a regime of great terror — many billions of dollars, some of it in actual cash, a great embarrassment to me as a citizen and to all citizens of the United States. A constructive deal could easily have been struck at the time.”
