Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-GA) today issued the following statement after President Trump announced the United States will withdraw from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), commonly known as the Iran Nuclear Deal:

“President Trump’s decision to withdraw from the Iran Nuclear Deal could not come soon enough. This bad deal – negotiated and signed by the Obama administration – only emboldened Iran’s posture in the Middle East and further antagonized one of our closest allies, Israel. Even though reinstituting sanctions on Iran alone won’t be enough to curb their quest for nuclear weapons, it is a major step toward reigning in the Iranian regime. The President sent a clear message today that America will not sit idly by and watch Iran jeopardize Americans’ safety, our allies safety, or the common interests we share around the world.”
