Michael, ill start with you. how remarkable do you think the change is for president trump? i think its probably one of the biggest political dramas of the presidency but also the most con consequencial decision of the presidency to date. your thoughts? >> you are right. he didnt just harpoon the deal today. he also went after the core of the iranian regime, the core of their destabilizing activities, their state sponsorship of terrorism, their missile program. he almost said look, im not sure w...

Pulling the u.s. out of the iran nuclear deal, swift reaction. european allies releasing a statement together. it is with regret and concerned that we take note of president trumps decision to withdraw the united states of america from the jcpoa. together we emphasize our continuing agreement >> agreement to the agreement, remaining in place for security. we would like to avoid taking action which obstructs limitations to all other parties to the deal, and not all countries sharing that. saudi a...

Interpretation. north korea will get a message. if it is not shutical it will not stand the test of time. more importantly we shouldnt be here. that should have been a treaty and while it did not have the votes on the congress, the senate. so he went around them. and the sad thing about it. they were bleeding about 125 to $150 billion from the really tough sanctions i give the obama administration credit for finally ratcheting it up. over the life of the first 10 the and additional five years th...

Their missile program or their behavior and i dont think they were going to be able to produce any nuclear weapons in that tenure. not because they had civil unrest and their economy was ruined. now theyve got a green light in ten years and i think they will take advantage of it. >> laura: where does this stand tonight? >> two things i would say. the first is that we know all of americas allies in europe strongly oppose the united states leading by ourselves. the french and the german leaders we...

He believes it didnt go far enough in curbing irans missile program and its nuclear program and its active terrorism as well as putting real deadlines on its nuclear capability. so he never felt as though it went tough enough. he did have a team in place when he first got into office. his former secretary of state, the national security adviser, who really pressed him over and over gone stay in the deal. now he has a new, more hawkish team in place. his newly installed secretary of state, mike p...

Secretary mattis talked about the inspectors. does iran kick those inspectors out so we lose what visibility we have there. the europeans wont reimpose sanctions so where does that leave us and if ron? im not necessarily opposed to sticking with this deal forever. what you need to have a clear idea about next steps. if we are going to pull out. and especially given the larger context of irans aggressive activity in the middle east. >>chris: lets pick up on that because the french and the germans...

Bullet but save face about it, but not entirely pull out of the deal? >> i think something along the lines that hes talked to the europeans about their plans to really put additional new pressure on the iranians over their missile program. he wants to give them some time to make this work. and he will find some way to kind of slip this. i dont frankly know what that way is. but i think the president would be quite prepared to do something like that if he cared about our european allies. im not s...
