House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) slammed President Donald Trump on Sunday, accusing the President of worsening the situation with Iran by pulling out of a key nuclear deal signed during the former President Barack Obama administration.
Hakeem Jeffries Says Trump 'Ripped' Obama's Iran Nuclear Deal In a post on the social media platform X, Jeffries delivered sharp criticism of Trump and shared a video of an interview with NBC News.
"President Obama built a global coalition that constrained Iran's nuclear ambitions," he said in the post's caption.

"Donald Trump recklessly ripped that agreement up and took us to war," Jeffries said, calling it a "war of choice" in the interview.
"Gas prices are through the roof," Jeffries said, adding that the war had resulted in Iran emerging "stronger," while the Americans were "less safe," he said.
