no question in my mind. to me, it was the wrong decision to make, it was against our national security interests for us to pull out of the agreement. we should have pursued actions against iran for its nonnuclear violations of international agreements. we would have had the support of our allied partners in doing that, isolating iran. that would have been a much better course to pursue, instead by the president withdrawing, he did elevate tension between our country and iran and isolated america. >> do you support the president talking to iran without preconditions? >> i have no idea what the president is going to do. i would like the president to be prepared for a meeting. we have seen in summit meetings with kim jong-un, it doesn't look like there was as much preparation as there should have been. you see that with summit meetings with putin and russia. so yes, i want to see diplomacy work, but i want to be sure the president is prepared and we have the support of international partners when we meet and talk with iran. >> senator ben cardin, thank you
