Trump warns Iran about restarting nuclear program

Source: The Hill



BY JORDAN FABIAN - 04/24/18 11:03 AM EDT

President Trump on Tuesday warned Iran against restarting its nuclear program, saying that if it does, the nation “will have bigger problems than they ever had before.”

Trump blasted the Iran nuclear deal during an Oval Office meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron, who is seeking to convince the U.S. president to remain in the pact. Trump left the door open to remaining in the 2015 deal, even though he reiterated his belief it is “terrible.”

“It was a terrible deal, It should have never, ever been made,” the president said. “We made this terrible deal but we’re going to discuss it.”

The comments revealed the sharp policy disagreements between Trump and Macron, despite their budding personal friendship.

Of course they want to protect themselves against him.

Hasn't he talked in the past about bombing them?
