Two former Obama administration officials suggested in a New York Times op-ed published Thursday that European countries allied with the United States could expel American ambassadors in retaliation for President Donald Trump withdrawing from the Iran nuclear deal.
"Europe Doesn't Have to Be Trump's Doormat," wrote Steven Simon and Jonathan Stevenson. Simon served as the National Security Council's senior director for the Middle East and North Africa, while Stevenson served as the regional director for political-military affairs.
"After months of swaggering hesitation, President Trump finally announced the United States' withdrawal from the nuclear deal with Iran, to which Britain, France, Russia, China, Germany, and the European Union are also parties," they wrote. "This action tramples on European leaders, who urged Mr. Trump to exercise restraint in the interest of international security and multilateralism."
The two men urged European countries to go beyond "mere words" and counter Trump's withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal with real, concrete actions.

Once again, these people are trying to direct foreign relations, and now directly against our own nation.
Time for some of these jerks to spend some time in prison.
It’s long past time to take the profit out of sedition.
I think this would simply play right into Trump’s hands. A large swathe of the country would applaud when he expelled their ambassadors from America in return.
But by all means, keep pursuing the path of the blind childish temper tantrum Obamabots.
Watch and learn, children. What you hope for won’t be happening! :)
Steven Simon and Jonathan Stevenson have clearly committed sedition against the Government of the United States … but Jeff Sessions in his weak capacity of Attorney General, will do absolutely nothing …
You lost. Your hero’s legacy is in ruins. Get over it.
Obviously these two Left-wingers are racists as they don't even bother to mention the Arab countries in the region that SUPPORT the US withdrawal from Bammy's bad deal.
“I think this would simply play right into Trump’s hands. A large swathe of the country would applaud when he expelled their ambassadors from America in return.”
Agree.
I still say the all the Obamaroids were so useless in office that the sun will set the earliest in history on most of their group’s connections value to the private sector. Outside of leftist think tanks I can’t think of anyone needing most of them by this time.

Hey, don’t let those Third World countries expel our diplomats, let’s recall them, close the embassies and save a bundle.
SICKO.
All these traitors should be hunted down and...
Amen bro. I know I would cheer it. I would have a small amount of respect for these ass hats 🎩 if they would stop lying out their you know what, and just admit all they really want, is money, from Iranian business deals, and they fear Trump will not allow businesses to do business in America, if they do business in Iran.
That’s a stupid idea even for Obama officials.
Western Europe has no choice but to follow America’s lead although they have never liked the idea. Eastern Europe has far more common sense and will to live.
“swaggering hesitation” is oxymoronic.
