president trump wipes out subsidies to insurance companies. taking crucial steps toward saving the american people from the nightmare of obamacare. and pressuring democrats to get on board or else. they re like obstructionists. if they came over, maybe we could make a deal. even some republicans say it s the american people who will pay the price. key republican senator susan collins is here to react. hell loeshgs i m jake tapper in washington where the state of our union is changing course. this week president trump moved to undue to cornerstones of the obama policy. the president disavowing the nuclear deal saying iran is not in compliance with the terms of the agreement but president trump fell short of terminating the deal all together. though the president did leave that option on the table. in the event we are not able to reach a solution working with congress and our allies, then
because this was a multilateral agreement not a bilateral one. okay. but as of right now, you wouldn t be in favor of voting right now to impose new sanctions on iran to essentially blow up the deal. you just want to strengthen the deal and work with allies? i want to strengthen the deal and work with allies but i want to see what the senate formulations committee, both of whose leaders, senator corker and senator cardin, oppose the agreement that the obama administration negotiated come up with for legislation. and we have a window to do that. speaking of senator corker, he called the white house a, quote, adult day care center this week. he warned that the president s recklessness could set the nation, quote, on the path to world war iii. he said his concerns are shared by nearly every republican in the united states senate. is he right?
under the nuclear agreement the jcpoa there had been a number of technical violations carrying too much inventory and having materials used to conduct high speed. under the agreement iran has a significant period of time to remedy the violations so they have remedied the violations which brings them back into technical compliance. i think that demonstrated pattern of walking against the edges of the agreement are what give us some concern as to how far iran might be willing to go to test the limits from its side of the agreement. our response to that has been to work with the other parties and demand that we be much more demanding of the enforcement of the agreement, much more demanding inspections and disclosures. that is what we are shifting since we have taken our seat at the table. president trump decertified the deal on friday but did not withdraw as he could have.
freedom and the hope that one dayite ran yan people will retake control of the government of iran and restore it to its rich history of the past, reintegrate and become a fruitful member in trade, commerce in the region. that is the end game here. that s a very long game and we realize that. before the senate not long ago, your counterpart at the pentagon, secretary mattis, was asked if he thought staying in the agreement was in the best interest of the united states. not a question about whether or not he wanted to improve on the deal or add a secondary deal but whether or not the u.s. should stay in it or leaf. he said staying in it was his course. it sounds like you agree with that as welle, that you would not want congress to immediately impose sanctions that would end this deal. no, i do agree with that. i think the president does as well, that s why he took the decision he took. look, let s see if we cannot address the flaws in the agreement by staying within the agreement, w
think of us. so, i do want to see what we can do, how we can work together in a bipartisan manner. i don t want to be in a congress as people say, we don t get anything done. jake, speaker pelosi in a very tenuous position within her own caucus. look at no. no? how do you say no? i think the challenge for pelosi, one thing the entire democratic caucus, the entire democratic caucus, is fine with a plan to help fix the affordable care act. there is not a single member of the democratic it s the republican after after it s the republicans we don t know if they ll let it come to the floor. if they pushed it really hard, i think this is a case f i can talk to my democratic friends, they should be more aggressive trying to get this legislation to the floor, trying to get 25 republicans they are. they are. this whole hold for a second. after your party went and sat with the president and came up with a deal on daca and listen, they were we want that
