Sen. Joseph Lieberman on Fox News


FOX NEWS’ MARIA BARTIROMO: “Of course, you were against the Iran deal from the beginning, but [former U.S. Secretary of State] John Kerry basically – he admitted it in his memoir book tour that he met with [the Iranians] three times. What is he trying to do? We’re out of the deal. What is John Kerry going to do?”

JOE LIEBERMAN: “Right, elections have consequences, and in this case, and in my opinion, thank God, the election had the consequence of pulling us out of a bad agreement that didn’t stop the Iran nuclear program, which is why we adopted all those economic sanctions in Congress all those years. It just forced them to put the brakes on for a while, if they keep their word. So, I think with John Kerry meeting with the Iranians, it encourages them, whether he said this or not, to believe that they could wait it out, they should be tougher with the U.S. The fact is though even our allies in Europe seem to be clinging to that bad agreement, their businesses are exiting Iran because if you give them a choice, as President Trump and [U.S. Secretary of State] Mike Pompeo have now forced them to make, between doing business with Iran, $500 billion [gross domestic product] GDP and doing business with America, $21 trillion GDP, it’s an easy choice: they're going to get out of Iran and that's what's happening now. We ought not to, John Kerry ought not to, lessen that impact on the Iranians when he got them in a point where they may really want to make a better deal.”
