I urge President Donald Trump to decertify Iranian compliance with the catastrophic 2015 Iran nuclear deal, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), and to reimpose sanctions on Iran for its failure to cease supporting international terrorist groups and internal human rights abuses.

President Trump should not recertify the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), otherwise known as the Iran Nuclear Deal. The JCPOA is not in America’s best interests.

It was a very bad, one-sided deal, for what was in the deal, and a very bad, one-sided deal, for what was not in the deal.
