ST. LOUIS—U.S. Senate Democratic Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL) today released the following statement after President Trump announced that he will re-impose nuclear-related sanctions on Iran that were lifted in connection with the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), better known as the Iran Nuclear Agreement. In May 2018, President Trump unilaterally pulled the United States out of the Iran Nuclear Agreement.
In 2015, Durbin led the effort in the Senate that ultimately allowed the Iran Nuclear Agreement to proceed, securing enough votes to block an effort to derail it.
The nuclear agreement with Iran has worked, and continues to work. For years, it has allowed inspectors on the ground to verify that Iran’s nuclear activities no longer threaten the world. I have long opposed this Administration’s irrational hostility to this agreement. Today’s actions, yet again, put the U.S. in violation of this deal. It risks reopening a resolved conflict, and will divide us further from our European allies. President Trump’s foreign policy is a dangerous gamble with nuclear weapons.
It has “worked” to help them spend many billions of dollars that we gave them to fund terrorism and to purchase brand new state of the art military equipment to threaten our troops and our allies - and to profit Russia, who they are a virtual client state of. This is certainly not something Russia approves of - quite the opposite. But Durbin says what he says here in one breath, then in another breath will say this administration is “soft on Russia.”
Just another contribution to an endless amount of bogus, insincere criticism.
durbin is an anti-American mental midget who readily passes for a nitwit.
Turdbin ..pfffft ...
Little Dick Durbin
Tightened his turban
Opened his mouth to bray....
He got down on all fours
Ass in the air
Head toward Mecca to pray
I think Corkey was a major part of this twisted Obama mess.99 of 100 Senators including the self proclaimed "constitutional conservative" Ted Cruz (we dodged a bullet by not electing that clown) were major parts of this mess.
Illinois is a failure.
Why do the stoopids of illinois keep electing this kind of crap?
The Iranians didn’t sign it either.
