Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin said President Trump’s announcement “is a mistake of historic proportions."
“The last thing America and the world need right now is a new nuclear threat, he said. "Breaking this deal increases the danger that Iran will restart its nuclear weapons program, which threatens our ally, Israel, and destabilizes the entire Middle East."
"It isolates the United States from the world at a time when we need our allies to come together to address nuclear threats elsewhere, particularly in Korea."
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi called the Iran decision “dangerous and impulsive.”
"Today is a sad day for America’s global leadership," she said. "The Trump Administration’s dangerous and impulsive action is no substitute for real global leadership.”
