Donald Trump will not overturn Iran nuclear agreement

Report: Donald Trump Will Not Overhaul Iran Nuclear Accord, Washington Free Beacon, BY: Natalie Johnson, 5 July 16 Donald Trump will not upend the Iran nuclear deal should he clinch the White House this November, according to a top foreign policy adviser for the presumptive Republican nominee.

Trump has been outspoken against the landmark diplomatic agreement, calling it “disastrous” and vowing to renegotiate the nuclear accord between the U.S., Iran, and five other world powers if he assumes the presidency.
