"In a live-streamed remarks on his Facebook page on Tuesday afternoon, Sen. Bernie Sanders issued a direct response to President Donald Trump's decision to end the U.S. government's commitment to the Iran nuclear deal, officially called the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JSPOA).
Calling Trump's decision "reckless," Sanders warned that the president has "put our nation on a dangerous path."
"Real American leadership, and real American power, is not shown by our ability to blow things up, but by our ability to bring parties together." —Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.)People should, Sanders continued, that the "JCPOA is not just an agreement between the United States and Iran, but one negotiated alongside other members of the international community including the United Kingdom, France, and Germany, along with China and Russia." He warned that it does more to isolate and undermine the credibility of the U.S. than it does Iran."
