Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders added his voice to those criticizing President Donald Trump’s decision to withdraw from the international nuclear accord with Iran.
President Trump blasted the Iran deal as "defective at its core." His announcement drew mixed reaction from Congress.

Vermont Independent Senator Bernie Sanders called the president’s move “reckless.”    “If we are genuinely concerned with Iran’s behavior in the region, as I am, this is the worst possible course of action.  Unfortunately I heard no strategy from President Trump, just the usual bluster.”

Vermont Senator Patrick Leahy had joined a coalition of ranking Senate members calling on the president not to abandon the nuclear agreement.
