Condoleezza Rice: Not ‘End of the World’ If Trump Leaves Iran Nuclear Deal (The Washington Free Beacon)

Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on Tuesday said it would not be the "end of the world" if President Donald Trump decides to leave the Iran nuclear deal.

"We've had various members of the Trump administration testify to congress that there is no proof that Iran is violating the 2015 accord. What is the damage if President Trump withdraws from the accord?" "CBS This Morning" anchor Norah O'Donnell asked.

"Let me say, I wouldn't have signed this agreement. I said that before. I think it was a weak agreement, particularly on verification," Rice said. "It allows Iran to break out after a specific period of time. I probably would have stayed in for alliance management reasons more than anything else. But I don't think that it's the end of the world if the administration leaves the agreement."
