Trump signals he might pull out of the Iran nuclear deal. What’s at stake?

[Drumboy44]

Two years since the Iran nuclear agreement was signed, President Trump may be on the way to pulling the U.S. out of the deal. The president indicated in an interview he's willing to overrule the State Department and not certify Iran’s compliance.

Candidate Donald Trump ran against the agreement, but President Trump has twice followed the State Department’s advice, and certified that Iran is complying with it.

But now, in a Wall Street Journal interview published today, Mr. Trump indicates he’s willing to overrule the State Department when the next certification is due in October.

President Trump:

We have given them the benefit of every doubt. We’re doing very detailed studies. And, personally, I have great respect for my people. If it was up to me, I would have had them noncompliant 180 days ago.

What do you think is at stake here if the U.S. pulls out?

What do you think is at stake here if the U.S. pulls out?

Nothing will change, other than Iran may start to be more open about what they are doing right now clandestinely.

Other countries are making too much money with Iran to jump on a sanctions bandwagon.

Iran will get a nuke just like North Korea will get a nuke.

We might save some tax dollars in the short term
But other than that nothing will change, it was a nothing burger to start with.
