President Trump on Tuesday announced he will not renew sanctions waivers for the Iran nuclear deal, taking a step that could lead to the deal’s unraveling.
“I
am announcing today that the United States will withdraw from the Iran
nuclear deal,” Trump said from the Diplomatic Room in the White House.
Keeping
with the promise he made in January, Trump announced he has decided
against continuing to wave sanctions as laid out in a 2015 pact between
the United States, Iran, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Russia and
China.Trump said he would sign an order to “begin reinstating U.S. nuclear sanctions on Iran” and also promised to impose “the highest level of economic sanctions,” including measures that could target nations doing business with Iran.
