Agreements are great for the party that breaks them when convenient but has a partner who keeps to them.
But, why would China want Iran to have nuclear weapons? It might weigh against Europe and the US, but the mullahs have an apocalyptic mindset and can’t be trusted for very long. Uighurs with truck bombs?
We buy goods made in China. China needs for us to continue buying those goods made in China. Trump understands very well the strength of the US position.
Not "violate", but rather "re-negotiate".
Deals are made to be broken. Treaties unless you are russia or china or iran or NK are not:-)
Someone tell me: since when did China dictate our policy?
And the deal shall stand.. all the way to January 20th!
Was this not an executive agreement? If so, the President bound his administration, but not the nation. ...
The one Iran has breached?
The one in writing?
The one with secret protocols?
The one ratified by the senate?
In reality there is no real agreement. It exists only in the minds of persons like Obama and Kerry.
Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said, “We made a deal that you would stop limiting our access to the world’s wealth and in exchange we would keep quiet about our nuclear bomb technology. If you violate the terms of our agreement we will be forced to rattle our sabres out in the open where everyone can see.”
Well, that should put the fear of Allah in Trump.
eff them both
We have our own oil now and we are going to make our own things, creating prosperity for Americans.
America First.
There’s a new sheriff in town. Believe me.
Iran shouldn't have made a "deal" with the current POTUS, who is temporary as every POTUS is, and should have made a treaty with the US for any lasting effect.
It looks like Iran is already quaking in fear of Trump. With Obama as president, they threatened to cancel the pact. Now, with Trump, they are threatening to KEEP it.
Oh, it’ll certainly stand till January 20th. After that? Well... hey, complicated business. ;^)
There is no “agreement.” Iran never signed anything. Too bad, so sad.
They will quickly learn not to give such public ‘orders’ to Trump.
Clearly Obama assumed that the combination of flooding the country with Left-leaning immigrants and voter fraud would keep the Left in control of the White House in perpetuity. Otherwise he might put a little bit more effort into getting actual laws passed and treaties signed, as opposed to all those easily rescinded “Executive Actions”.
Come January 20 there’s going to be a new executive in town.
We’ll see, goatboinkers.
In a signal to China and Iran, Trump said, “no”.
