That started when it failed in august. so in september senators alexander and murray began working in earnest. had a series of very promising bipartisan hearings and made progress up and until they had the cord pulled when they attempted to repeal the affordable care act again last month. theyve only had a few weeks of bipartisan work here to try to address some of the challenges and flaws with the affordable care act. give an few months, i do think we would get a strong bipartisan deal. >> good...

Congress either alter the deal or place new sanctions on iran, which could scratch the agreement. here in israel, prime minister benjamin netanyahu praised president trump for recognizing the flaws in the agreement. >> im focused on the goal. the goal is to prevent iran from ever acquiring nuclear weapons. can you achieve it either by fixing it bad deal or knicksing it i dont particularly care which one. its the result we want to have. >> not everyone in israel agrees that scrapping the iran dea...

Agreement. there have been multiple issues but under the agreement and this is part of the weaknesses and the flaws, iran has a significant period of time to remedy those violations. and so they have remedy the violations which brings them back into technical compliance. i think, though, that demonstrated pattern of walking right up against the edges of the agreement gives us some concern as to how far iran might be willing to go to test its limits of the agreement. our response has been to work...

Renegotiate the agreement. basically saying ill either fix the flaws or we will have to have a different agreement entirely. i think his decision around the new policy is consistent with that. so now we want to deal with the nuclear agreements, weaknesses. but we need to deal with a much broader array of threats that iran poses to the region. our friends and allies and posing to our own national security. policy itself has three components. it is important that people understand this. the presid...

Address those two flaws, in particular. and second, the administration needs to consult with our allies because this was a multilateral agreement, not a bilateral one. >> but as of right now, you would not be in favor of voting to impose new sanctions on iran to essentially blow off the deal. you just want to strengthen the deal and work with allies? >> i want to strengthen the deal and work with allies but i want to see what the senate foreign relations committees, senator corker and senator ca...

He did not choose to do that. instead, he put a spotlight on two very important flaws in the agreement one is the fact that it does not stop iran from testing and developing ballistic missiles. and second, he put emphasis on the sunsets that are included in the agreement. those are important because it means that iran merely has to be patient in order to ultimately design and develop a nuclear arsenal. so i think there are real deficiencies in the agreement and i believe that we should take adva...

Democracy and freedom and hope one day the iranian people will restore it to the rich history of the past and become a fruitful member and trade commerce in the region. that is really the end game here. that is a very long game and we realize that. >> before the senate not long ago your counter part at the meant gone secretary mattis was asked if he thought staying tht agreement was in the best interest of the united states. whether or not the u.s. should say in it or leave and he said staying i...

Fruitful member and trade commerce in the region. so that is really the end game here. a very long game and we realize that. >> reporter, ryan, tiller saying they want to fix the flaws. is that consistent with what president trump has been saying? >> thats right. president trump did not withdraw the united states from the deal. dedecertify, so it moves to congress. again, the administration both secretary mattis, tillerson and president trump are saying the u.s. will stay in the deal for now. ag...

>> i do agree with that. i think the president does, as well. that is why he took the decision he took that lets see if we cannot address the flaws in the agreement by staying within the agreement and working with others and with our european friends and allies within the agreement. but that may come in a secondary agreement, as well. >> you were in china trying to resolve the dispute with north korea in a diplomatic way as president trump tweeted i told rex tillerson that he is wasting his time...

Unilaterally before he was persuaded to pursue what might be described as a middle course? >> the president wants a comprehensive strategy. for too long the last administration is flawed and has a number of agreements in it but the president said throughout the campaign, ill either reform the agreement, renegotiate the agreement and say ill either fix these flaws or well have to have another agreement entirely. i think the new policy is consistent with that. now we want to deal with the nuclear ...
