President Trump says the Iran nuclear deal is among the worst he’s ever seen. So he left it.
The 2015 agreement between Iran, the United States, France, China, the UK, Russia and Germany was meant to curtail the development of a nuclear weapon. (Here’s a primer from the BBC.) Leaders of those countries sought to change President Trump’s mind, to no avail.
Since he took office, the big question had been whether the president would withdraw. Now that he has, the question becomes “What’s Next?”
