Under his own and I imagine Iran didn't get all of it either.

The State Department on Tuesday acknowledged President-elect Donald Trump can exit President Obama’s nuclear agreement with Iran.
“It’s not a formal treaty, and, of course, no one else can prevent any party to this agreement from walking away,” spokesman Mark Toner told reporters Tuesday, according to The Washington Examiner. "The counterargument is, why would anyone walk away? Because it’s effective.”

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani earlier Tuesday slammed Trump for threatening to abolish the landmark 2015 deal.
“[Trump] wants to do many things, but none of his actions would affect us,” he said during a speech at the University of Tehran, according to Reuters.
“Do you think that the United States can rip up the JCPOA [Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action nuclear deal]? Do you think we and our nation will let him do that?”
Rouhani additionally hammered Congress for passing legislation that extended the Iran Sanctions Act for 10 years, making it easier for sanctions on Iran to be re-implemented. . .

Iran didn’t sign anything. There is no agreement.
“Do you think we and our nation will let him do that?”
So, how will you stop him?
Thanks for link.
Under what authority did obama give Iran billions...?
I can remember once when Bill Clinton said “I’m the President of the United States. I can do anything I damn well want to do.”
So can Trump, even if he is a Republican.
Did President Pen & Phone even attempt to get this deal ratified by the Senate?
I'll take "His Imagination" for $500, Alex!
“There is no agreement.”
Even IF Iran had signed, there is still no agreement that would bind Trump in US law...and does not bind Obama EITHER.
There is no agreement and never has been.
The Corker Bill.
That’s where he got the authority...
Can we get the $150B back?
If cancelling it would not mean that Iran does anything different from what it is now doing, what good is the “agreement”?
Congress needs to open a big time investigation into this transfer of cash...and if the chickenshit gop will not do it, then Jeff Sessions will
Under his own and I imagine Iran didn't get all of it either.
This was an unconstitutional outlay of funds. Make the parties involved reimburse the American people. Make Obama personally pay. Break him.
There is no question he can dump it. There are not even any paper chains on him. It is not a Senate ratified Treaty. It is just a personal agreement between one Barak Hussein Soetoro and an Iranian fellow who promptly repudiated it while demanding that the US must live up to it.
Well, he has been successful at it for eight years, even when the Pubbies held both houses, so it isn’t surprising that he thinks he’s the emperor.
Hell, heck, there’s not even anything to tear up is there?
True, but just wait for January 20th or perhaps the 21rst; when President trump shreds everything that wee barry has done on his ownsome. :-)
