World Leaders Are Condemning Trump’s Decision To Withdraw From The Iran Deal

Leaders from Germany, France, the UK and others quickly condemned President Donald Trump's decision to withdraw the US from the Iran nuclear deal on Tuesday.

Finalized in 2015, the deal, which placed limits on Iran's nuclear program in exchange for relief from economic sanctions, was presented as a major foreign policy win.

The US, UK, France, Russia, China, Germany and Iran were all parties to the agreement, which was also endorsed by the UN Security Council.

Here's what world leaders are saying about Trump's decision to withdraw from the deal:

German Chancellor Angela Merkel, French President Emmanuel Macron, and British Prime Minister Theresa May

In a joint statement, they expressed "regret and concern" about Trump's decision and reiterated their commitment to the deal.

"This agreement remains important for our shared security," the statement said.

As each month/year rolls by, I lose more ground to my my wifey why we should ever consider going back (well me going back as she is a dual Swedish/UK citizen) to the US.

We are unreliable now. Form your alliance with Europe, not the US.

I really hate to say it, but it’s true.

Ditch that piece of crap Brexit vote.

I will renounce my American citizenship and claim Swedish if need be, to remain EU. At that point I will leave this board as what slim ties that bind will be severed.

I hope Cheeto gets dis-invited to the UK this summer. The protests and riots he causes just aren't worth it.

Does a desperate, muscular Pooty see an economic boost for Russia in going back to helping Iran with its nukes and missiles? Of course Pootyland and Iran are allies in Syria. Maybe TheRump got his orders from the Kremlin (as well as Jerusalem) on this.
