Former Sen. Joseph Lieberman (I-CT) discussed the Iran nuclear agreement on Thursdays Breitbart News Daily, stating that President Donald Trumps announcement on Tuesday that the United States is pulling out of the deal took guts.
I actually think its a great thing, Lieberman told Breitbart Editor-in-chief Alex Marlow. I think the president made the correct decision, and, frankly, its a courageous decision.
Lieberman, who now is on the advisory board at the Gatestone Institute and chairman of United Against Nuclear Iran, said former President Barack Obama basically gave all our leverage away and only stalledrather than stoppedIrans nuclear weapons program.
It took guts for President Trump to do what he did, but I think he did something totally in the interest of the U.S. He operated from power, Lieberman said.
Obama, some European allies, Russia, and China signed onto the agreement in 2015 without approval from the U.S. Congress.
Lieberman also weighed in on how the Iran decision will play out in the Trump administrations negotiations with North Korea, as some critics are claiming that pulling out of the Iran deal will threaten these negotiations.

The dems will get their revenge.
I always like Lieberman.
Never saw him as a backstabber.
Seems to mean what he says.
LOLOL——now waiting for Nasty McStain to viciously attack Lieberman for disagreeing with him.
Will John McCain now regret regretting his choice as a running mate?
McCain hears this it might be the end for him.
One of the few Dems that wasn’t insane crazy.
The reason why I forgot he was still alive.
We would have been better off with Joe at the head of the GOP ticket in 2008
We would have been better off with Joe at the head of the GOP ticket in 2008Who is "we"?
Only in your mind.
Joe loves this country, unlike McCain.
He also would not have sent staff out to sabotage his running mate.
I have some respect for Joe, none for John.
The ONLY issue Lierberman "gets" is Israel and the middle east. On everything else, he's a typical leftist/commie/dem.
Same as McCain, but sane.
Does Johnny know about this?
WHAT?!? I regret ever thinking that Joe Liebermann would have made a good running mate in 2008! John McCain
