counter punch to the russian investigation, his long time friend and attorney rudy giuliani. let s go to the white house. our abby phillip is outside. let s begin with the iran deal and the most consequential announcement from this president on foreign policy coming today. reporter: that s right, poppy. one that probably would not come as a huge surprise to a lot of people. the president teased yesterday that he would be announcing this at 2:00 this afternoon and he s widely expected to pull out of the deal that s despite weeks of frantic calls and meetings with the president from his european allies trying to urge him to stay in it, but president trump has for quite a long time dating back all the way through the campaign denounce this had deal as being insufficient and badly negotiated by his predecessors and just take a listen to some of the ways that over the years the president has talked about this iran deal. the iran deal, which may be the single worst deal i ve ever
seen drawn by anybody one of the worst and most one-sided transactions. it s a bad deal. it s a bad structure. it s falling down. should have never, ever been made. what kind of a deal is it where you re loud to test missiles all over the place? reporter: so you hear there the president talking a little bit about some of the concerns he has, ballistic missiles being one of them but also this idea that the deal doesn t prevent iran from continuing to fund terrorism in the region. he has support on that point from benjamin netanyahu who s also been pressuring him, along with a lot of republicans to pull out of the deal. we ll see what the actual details are when he announces it later this afternoon. it s important to find out exactly what that s going to mean for the specifics of the iran deal right now. that s behind nuclear door number one, behind nuclear door number two, prospective talks
by being tough about it and saying, look, if iran truly doesn t want if they want to have peaceful nuclear activity and they don t want to have ballistic missiles, let s negotiate that into this, let s make this deal never expire. let s talk about their behavior in syria in propping up a guy that s killed millions of syrians. i think we re sitting on a situation where in eight years we re going to look at some of the things that expire and start to regret it. you keep on saying eight years. it s years. tichl months from now, tomorrow, do you think the world is safer if the u.s. pulls out of this deal? i think the world is safer if we take a long-term approach at keeping iran not just from getting nuclear weapons which we have the ability to do and we can negotiate a better deal to do it but when we confront iran s behavior in the middle east. they re destabilizing you can you can confront that behavior even while preventing them for staying in
place with iran. what they are doing, whatever the president decides today, would be the first of seven states that signed the agreement to be in violation of the agreement. it s incredible that iran has shown more credibility and more consistency with international law than the white house is showing and it will have several very negative follow-on effects. first, an unnecessary fight with our best allies in europe. secondly, the loss of visibility of inspection capability for the international community in iran. third, the possibility that iran goes back to exactly the behavior that we stopped in its tracks four years ago. and finally, the white house will create a crisis, not one that you ll see tomorrow but a slow motion crisis that significantly increases the risk of the u.s. making another disastrous military intervention
rudy giuliani brought on to get rid of the president s headaches, not create more? we have reports that the president is growing increasingly frustrated with his attorney? republicans on edge as primary voters hit the polls today. is it the party have a real problem if ex-convict don blankenship wins today? we ll take you there live. also the most consequential foreign policy decision of the trump president just a few hours away. we re giving you reaction from the crafter of the iran nuclear deal as always signs point to the president basically killing it. a place with 24-hour fvalet servicee and a boutique salon a place with all day arts and crafts it even has a day spa
