Trump says he’ll send Iran deal to Congress for approval
President Donald Trump said Tuesday that he would send the text of the Iran ceasefire deal to Congress for review before a potential signing ceremony later this week.
The president was in Evian, France, on Tuesday morning, where he addressed some criticism from Republicans, including staunch ally Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), about the 60-day memorandum of understanding.
Trump claimed that Graham and others weren’t actually worried by the deal but added, when pressed by reporters, that he’d entertain the suggestion that Congress should be able to approve the text.
“I never thought of it, but I would. I wouldn’t mind,” he said. “What I’d like to do is send it to Congress, saying ‘You shouldn’t approve it,’ and I’ll get it approved.”
“I will send it to Congress. I like the idea. I mean, who wouldn’t approve it? Let’s let them have a nuclear weapon. The ‘Dumocrats’ will say they should have a nuclear weapon,” Trump continued. “They’ll go crazy. I like the idea. Send it to Congress, please.”
