It looks like Trump is going to keep his campaign promise and finally dump the Iran Deal, according to new reports just ahead of his announcement:
NY TIMES – President Trump told President Emmanuel Macron of France on Tuesday morning that he plans to announce the withdrawal of the United States from the Iran nuclear deal, according to a person briefed on the conversation.
The United States is preparing to reinstate all sanctions it had waived as part of the nuclear accord — and impose additional economic penalties as well, the person said.
A second person familiar with negotiations to keep the 2015 accord in place said the talks collapsed over Mr. Trump’s insistence that sharp limits be kept on Iran’s nuclear fuel production after 2030. The deal currently lifts those limits.
Mr. Trump is planning to formally announce his decision at 2 p.m. on Tuesday at the White House.
Not only is Trump going to dump the deal and reinstate sanctions, he’s also going to impose new ‘economic penalties’ on Tehran as well. That’s surely going to upset the Ayatollahs.
I just hope these sanctions and new economic penalties will eventually recover the billions in cash that Obama sent to Iran.
But all in all, this is very good news and I hope Trump’s 2pm announcement matches this report.
