Smucker Statement on Iran Deal

Statement

Date: May 8, 2018
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Foreign Affairs

U.S. Rep. Lloyd Smucker (PA-16) issued the following statement after President Trump announced the United States' withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal:

"I've long said the nuclear deal with Iran is fatally flawed. From its development to its execution, the deal paves the way for Tehran to obtain nuclear weapons. The deal fails to prevent Iran from testing ballistic missiles and does not address Iran's role as the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism. I support President Trump's decision to withdraw from this dangerous deal and will continue my efforts in Congress to hold Iran accountable for its actions."
