Abraham statement on withdrawal from Iran Deal

WASHINGTON - Congressman Ralph Abraham, M.D., R-Alto, issued the following statement in response to President Donald Trump's decision to withdraw from the Iran Deal and reimpose sanctions in an effort to stop the hostile nation's pursuit of nuclear weapons.

"President Trump made a wise and calculated decision to reimpose sanctions on Iran. The Iran Deal was not a deterrent to a nuclear weapon; it was a pathway to a nuclear weapon. The President has always put the security of the United States and our allies first and foremost above politics. This is another example of solid, positive leadership," Dr. Abraham said.
