In this week’s newsletter, we are focusing on recent accomplishments in foreign affairs and our national defense. This past week, Representative Loudermilk traveled to the country of Poland and visited soldiers of the U.S. Army’s 2nd Cav. Regiment, currently deployed in a remote area there, including some from the state of Georgia. These soldiers are part of a multinational force positioned within 100 miles of the Russian border to deter aggression in the region.
Whether it’s giving our very deserving men and women in uniform the largest pay raise since 2010, or working to denuclearize North Korea, this administration and Congress have made tremendous progress in strengthening our military and making the world a safer place.
Additionally, we have seen the remains of our fallen heroes brought home from North Korea, and we’ve withdrawn from the harmful Iran nuclear deal made by the previous administration. President Trump and Republicans understand when America is thriving and safe, so is the rest of the world; and we want to continue on this path of prosperity and increased security.

Press Release on increasing U.S. security: U.S. Withdraws from the Iran Nuclear Deal
|
|
|
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.”
