Top GOP lawmakers released a statement Tuesday rebuking President Donald Trump on Iran, asking him to stop permitting nuclear work in the country and even vowing to take action.
Republican Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, Republican South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, and Republican Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney sent a letter to the president, calling him out for giving Iran sanctions exceptions and also giving the president advice as to how to proceed moving forward, according to The Washington Free Beacon.
“These waivers dangerously increase the risk of proliferation and whoever is advising President Trump otherwise is doing a disservice to him and the country,†the Republican lawmakers said in the joint statement. “Instead, there are two actions the president should take immediately to tear up the nuclear deal once and for all. First, end these waivers. Second, he should order our diplomats to invoke the United Nations snapback to restore international sanctions and restrictions on Iran.â€
