NEW YORK -- President Donald Trump's decision on Tuesday to withdraw the U.S. from the Iran nuclear deal seeks to send a blunt message to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un that Washington will not settle for a deal that falls short of its goal.
In a televised speech at the White House, Trump said the 2015 deal to stem Iran's nuclear development "was a horrible, one-sided deal that should have never, ever been made," and that allowing it to stand would result in a "nuclear arms race in the Middle East." The U.S. will reimpose nuclear and economic sanctions, he said.
