Trump to Press New Sanctions Against Iran While Certifying Nuclear Deal
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The New York Times is reporting that President Trump will again stop
short of reimposing harsh sanctions on Iran over the country's nuclear
industry, while imposing new sanctions over the country's ballistic
missile program. The report comes as Trump faces a deadline today on
whether to certify that Iran is complying with a landmark 2015 nuclear
deal. The deal was signed by a number of European countries, all of whom
are urging President Trump to remain in the agreement. During the
campaign, Trump repeatedly said he'd withdraw from the Iran nuclear
agreement, calling it the "worst deal ever."
