Incoming White House Chief of Staff: Iran Nuclear Deal “Is on Life Support”

NCRI – U.S. President-elect Donald Trump’s incoming chief of staff said on Sunday that he thinks the nuclear deal with the Iranian regime “is on life support.”

“I’m not here to declare one way or the other ultimately where this is going to go,” incoming White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus told ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos on “This Week.”

Asked by Stephanopoulos if the Iran agreement would continue under Trump, Priebus said, “It’s yet to be seen how that is going to shape up.”

“We all know that President-elect Trump doesn’t like the Iran deal, thinks it’s a terrible document, thinks it will create a nuclear arms race in the Middle East, which it already is beginning to do,” Priebus added.

On the campaign trail, Trump vehemently criticized the Iran deal.

In response to different opinions within the Trump camp, Priebus said the best way for the administration to decide on the Iran deal is through “a collective decision that is made, of course, with President-elect Trump having the primary say … but all of those opinions will be in the room.”
