WASHINGTON (AP) — The Latest on President Donald Trump’s decision on the Iran nuclear deal (all times local):
2:20 p.m.
President Donald Trump is railing against the Iran nuclear agreement as “a horrible, one-sided deal” based on a lie.
Trump’s comments Tuesday come as he announces plans to follow through on his campaign threat to pull out of the landmark nuclear accord with Iran during a televised address at the White House.
Trump says that if he allowed the deal to stand, there would soon be a nuclear arms race.
He also says a constructive deal could easily have been struck at the time, but it wasn’t.
Trump is calling Iran a “regime of great terror.”
And he says that “no action taken by the regime has been more dangerous than its pursuit of nuclear weapons and the means of delivering them.”
