In 2018, President Trump pulled the U.S. out of the deal known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action or JCPOA that had seen Iran limit its nuclear activities and allow U.N. inspections in exchange for sweeping international sanctions relief.
Mr. Trump’s rationale was that the deal was “disastrous” because it failed to address Iranian meddling and support of militant activity around the Middle East. The U.S. has listed Iran as a state sponsor of terrorism since 1984. In pulling the U.S. out of the 2015 nuclear deal, the Trump administration reimposed sanctions on Tehran and pushed to uphold a global embargo on Iranian crude oil.
House Majority Whip James Clyburn said the House Democrats may wait to send impeachment articles against President Trump to the Senate until after President-elect Joseph R. Biden's first 100 days in office.
The nominee, Lloyd J. Austin III, a retired four-star Army general, must obtain a congressional exemption from a law that bars recent active-duty officers from serving in the top Pentagon job.
NORTH EAST â Cecil County residents were glued to the news Wednesday as a rally in Washington D.C. in support of Pres. Donald J. Trump turned into a mob of people invading the US Capitol where Congress was approving the Electoral College votes in favor of President-elect Joseph Biden.
Less than a day later people in Cecil County had strong opinions of the event, which resulted in the death of at least four people. One of those deaths â 41-year-old Ashli Babbit â was by a gunshot wound to the chest, allegedly at the hands of Metro Police who were trying to stop the insurgence.
