AIC Chairman Senator Johnston spoke with Mehr News about Trump and the Nuclear Deal. The article was originally published in Mehr News.

The interview in its original English, as well as the Persian translation, are below.  

Q:  During the presidential campaign, President-Elect Donald Trump claimed that President Obama gave too many points to Iran in the nuclear deal and said he would re-negotiate the deal.   What will Trump actually do?

A:  I don’t believe that Trump would actually renounce the agreement.  He may try to put on some additional sanctions (not under JCPOA but under other provisions), but I don’t believe he will renounce the agreement.
