WASHINGTON, D.C. (KELO.com) -- Senator John Thune (R-SD) says he never supported the Iran nuclear deal so applauds President Trump's decision to pull out of it.
"The most important goal is that Iran never possesses nuclear weapons, an outcome that the Iran deal only delayed. The administration must now negotiate a stronger deal to ensure that goal is fulfilled.."
Thune hopes that U.S. Allies, who also signed the deal, will join the new negotiating effort.
He also says that Trump's decision should send a strong signal to North Korea that its nuclear weapons are not acceptable.
Congresswoman Kristi Noem (R-SD) is also praising Trump's decision to bail out of the deal.
"We should have walked away from this agreement at the very beginning, and I’m proud that President Trump has been bold enough to do so.”
