Foster disapproves of Trump's withdrawal from Iran nuclear deal

President Donald Trump's decision to withdraw from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action with Iran has at least one local congressman voicing his opposition.

Rep. Bill Foster, D-Naperville, argued in a statement that withdrawing from the nuclear deal with Iran will make the U.S. less safe and undermine the country’s credibility as a “stable and reliable negotiating partner.”

“I strongly condemn President Trump’s decision to withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal,” Foster said in a statement. “President Trump’s announcement shows his diplomatic incompetence and his technical ignorance of the scientific safeguards needed to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon.”

Foster said he is the only Ph.D. physicist in Congress.
