Wagner Statement President Trump’s Reevaluation Of The Iran Deal

October 13, 2017

WASHINGTON – Congresswoman Ann Wagner (R-MO), a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, released the following statement on President Donald J. Trump's reevaluation of the Iran Deal.

"The greatest threat facing the United States and our allies in the Middle East is a nuclear Iran," said Congresswoman Wagner."From day one I stood firmly against the dangerous Iran nuclear agreement struck by the Obama Administration. This deal was a fundamental mistake that weakened U.S. credibility to push back on Iran; and it would ultimately allow the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to access funds and equipment from abroad to use against our allies. I applaud President Trump's decision to decertify Iran's compliance with this flawed deal, and the Foreign Affairs Committee will work with House Leadership and the President to develop a comprehensive strategy to confront Iran's destabilizing actions."
