Insanity: Congress Won’t “Jeopardize Nuclear Iran Deal” With Legislation, Cardin Says
There is bipartisan consensus on Capitol Hill against killing the Iran nuclear deal through legislation, a senior lawmaker on foreign policy said on Friday.
“There is a general understanding that Congress will not take any steps that will put the United States on a path that would violate the agreement,” said Senate Foreign Relations Committee ranking member Ben Cardin, Democrat of Maryland, speaking with CNN.
Cardin has been in talks with his Republican counterpart on the committee, Chairman Bob Corker of Tennessee, over potential legislative remedies to US concerns with the multilateral nuclear agreement brokered in 2015 with Russia, China, Britain, France, Germany and Iran.
