Senator Bob Menendez was also against the Iran deal. He happily announced the suspension of the United States’ and South Korea’s military exercises.
Cuba and Iran Aren’t Threats
Senator Tom Cotton said that countries like Cuba and Iran don’t even have nuclear weapons yet. He added that these countries are not able to threaten the U.S. with a nuclear war. However, he added that if these countries develop nuclear weapons that they can use, he would compare Trump to previous Presidents who were able to negotiate with Soviet dictators.
Victor Cha is a former National Security Council director for Asia. He worked in George Bush’s administration. Now, he is a Georgetown University professor. He stated that the meeting of the two leaders left a lot of things to be desired. However, he added that the meeting did reduce the chance of a conflict.
Questions from the American People:
- Are we to surmise that Trump’s goal is to keep countries from gaining nuclear weapons? And that he will only negotiate with them once they do develop the weapons?
- What terms will the final agreement with North Korea include?
