Rep. Doggett on the President's Anticipated Iran Agreement Exit Announcement

Press Release

Today, U.S. Congressman Lloyd Doggett (D-TX), senior Member on the House Ways & Means Committee, issued the following statement regarding President Trump's impending withdrawal from the Iran Nuclear Agreement. In 2015, Rep. Doggett, along with Reps. Jan Schakowsky (D-IL) and David Price (D-NC), led a successful House whip effort to counter Republican obstruction of Obama Administration nuclear negotiations. Rep. Doggett said:

"With 96 percent of its enriched uranium removed, two-thirds of its centrifuges dismantled, and ongoing intrusive, rigorous inspections giving us valuable insight into Iran, this agreement makes us much safer, and Iran less of a nuclear threat. By ignoring the conclusion of both our military and international inspectors that Iran is in full compliance, President Trump recklessly imperils our security, the integrity of America's word, and the prospects for a verifiable North Korean agreement. How fortunate we would be to obtain a verifiable accord with North Korea as strong as the Iran Agreement that Trump so wrongfully condemns."
