Richard Haass: The U.S. Will Lose ‘Credibility Across the Board’ if Iran Deal Is Disrupted

‘Mr. Trump’s whole preference for disruption, I would argue, is inconsistent with the United States being an effective, great power’

EXCERPT:

HAASS: "By the way, Andrea, this goes way beyond Iran. This is implications for North Korea, this is implications for U.S. credibility across the board. If we’re going to start revisiting agreements simply because we’ve decided we no longer like them, why would other countries then enter into agreements with the United States? A great power has to be consistent and reliable, and Mr. Trump’s whole preference for disruption, I would argue, is inconsistent with the United States being an effective, great power."
