Officially in office for less than a week, US President Donald Trump
keeps using executive orders to dismantle or overturn policies put in
place by his predecessor Barack Obama.
Yet what Trump once considered his No. 1 priority on his
to-undo-list, the Iran nuclear agreement, seems to be more difficult to
scrap than the self-declared uber-dealmaker initially thought.
Fresh evidence of this reality is expected to arrive at the White
House on Friday, when British Prime Minister Theresa May will be the
carrier of an important message: The Iran nuclear deal is here to stay!
Previewing May’s trip to Washington, her spokesperson said that she
will stress the British strong support for the 2015 Iran nuclear deal,
concluded between Tehran and six world powers.
During the campaign, candidate Trump called the Islamic Republic the
world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism, a threat across the Middle
East, and a country that has covert cells ready to inflict carnage
around the globe.
Allowing Iran access to billions of dollars in exchange for curbs on
its nuclear program, Trump argued, was not in America’s or the world’s
interests.
But during their Senate confirmation hearings Trump’s own national
security cabinet picks acknowledged the diplomatic reality and avoided
the term “re-negotiation” altogether.
