President
Trump ends U.S. participation in the flawed Iran deal
“The Iran deal
is defective at its core,” President Trump said
yesterday in a speech from the White House Diplomatic Reception
Room. “If we do nothing, we know exactly what will happen. In
just a short period of time, the world’s leading state
sponsor of terror will be on the cusp of acquiring the world’s
most dangerous weapons.”
The President
announced that America will withdraw from the deal.
The agreement has failed to protect America’s national
security interests, enriched the Iranian regime, and allowed
Iran to preserve nuclear research and development. New evidence
released by Israel also confirms that Iran’s leaders made the
deal in bad faith, lying about past efforts to develop nuclear
weapons.
The U.S. will
immediately begin reimposing sanctions. These
penalties will target crucial sectors of Iran’s economy and
pressure the regime to alter its course of malign activities
across the Middle East. They will also ensure that global funds
stop flowing toward terrorism.

more about President Trump’s decision to withdraw from the
Iran nuclear deal.

Key
points from yesterday’s speech
Gina
Haspel has defended our national security
Today, the
Senate begins its process to confirm Gina Haspel as
Director of the Central Intelligence Agency with a hearing
before the Senate Intelligence Committee. While Haspel is
expected to earn confirmation, some Senators are putting
political interests above national security by opposing her
nomination.
Haspel is an
award-winning career intelligence officer who has
drawn praise from both Republican and Democratic former
national security leaders. By threatening to vote against her,
some Senators are attempting to block the first woman ever
nominated to be Director of the CIA, a 33-year veteran of the
Agency, and the first career CIA officer to be nominated as
Director in 52 years.
Despite
repeatedly facing false or misleading allegations against her,
the facts show that Gina Haspel has served her Nation
honorably. Current and former intelligence officials attest
that she is “unfailingly honest,” “professional,” and
has “high moral character.”
See
the facts about Gina Haspel—and why attacks on CIA public
servants won’t work.
