Clinton attacks Trump’s handling of Iran, North Korea

Washington, October 15 : Hillary Clinton says President Donald Trump’s threat to pull out of the Iran nuclear accord is “dangerous,” and suggests her former campaign opponent is undermining the validity of the United States’ promises to other nations.
Trump had accused Iran of violating the landmark 2015 accord, blaming the Iranians for a litany of sinister behavior and hitting their main military wing with anti-terror penalties. Trump, breaking his campaign pledge to rip up the agreement, did not pull the US out or re-impose nuclear sanctions, though he left that option on the table.
Clinton, in an interview recorded Wednesday and set to air tomorrow CNN, said Trump’s insistence on decertifying the deal, even though evidence has pointed to Iranian compliance, “makes us look foolish and small and plays right into Iranian hands”. “That is bad not just on the merits for this particular situation, but it sends a message across the globe that America’s word is not good,” said Clinton, who spoke in advance of Trump’s announcement two days later.
