The Stupidity of Reneging on the Nuclear Deal
Daniel Larison Follow @DanielLarison
Trump is expected to announce his decision on the nuclear deal this afternoon, and everyone assumes that he will decide to terminate sanctions waivers and withdraw the U.S. from the deal. Secretary of State Pompeo confirmed as much in a conference call with his European counterparts that the president:
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told his colleagues from the E3 — France, Germany and the United Kingdom — on Friday that President Trump has rejected the understandings that were drafted with American negotiators over the last four months regarding a possible fix of the Iran nuclear deal.
Ever since Trump delivered his ridiculous ultimatum to our European allies earlier this year, the charade of negotiating a “fix†to a deal that doesn’t need fixing has been an attempt to shift blame for eventual U.S. withdrawal. Instead of simply quitting the deal outright months ago, Trump has feigned an interest in keeping the deal alive when the changes he demanded would have amounted to a violation of it. There was never a chance that France, Britain, and Germany could agree to Trump’s terms without violating their own commitments, and now the charade has finally come to an end.

If one looks it up, "The American Conservative" was co-founded by Pat Buchanan with two others. I frequently disagree with their articles and not only that, they don't seem to accept "contrary" comments.
