U.S. President Barack Obama’s nuclear agreement with the regime in Iran can be undone by the next occupant of the Oval Office, Senator Marco Rubio said Wednesday.
“This is not a treaty, there’s nothing about this that’s binding on the next administration,” Sen. Rubio, a presidential candidate from the Republican Party, said on Fox News’s “America’s Newsroom” Wednesday.
He vowed to strike down the deal and institute harsher economic sanctions on the Tehran regime if he wins the White House.
“When I’m president of the United States, we will re-impose those sanctions on Day One, and then I will go to Congress, ask them even to increase sanctions more”, he said.
The nuclear agreement aims to prevent the regime in Iran from developing a nuclear weapon, in exchange for lifting international trade sanctions.
If the U.S. Congress does not stop the deal, it will begin to take effect next month, TheHill.com reported.
