some type of structure around the iran nuclear agreement. john and poppy? jeff zeleny now. we will hear from the president any minute. he is on the way, driving over to the value voters summit as we speak. we ll go back to the president when he gets there. fred pleitgen is in tehran. and christiane amanpour joins us again. for all of the talk about tearing up the iran deal, the headline is that the united states is staying in the iran nuclear deal. the sanctions will remain. what is the impact of the president s move today? well, will they remain, we ll have to see, it is up to congress, right? the president can t dictate to congress what they decide to do. maybe congress will decide they ve got one too many major global issues. maybe senator corker in terms of the chairman of the senate foreign relations committee, all the senators that believe this
states can t print money. the government can, states cannot. thank you to all of you. that does it for us today. kate bolduan picks up coverage this hour. thank you, john, poppy. hello, kate bold won. two announcements with implications for mills here and abroad, both from the president and just the president. this isn t just a tweet, isn t a big threat, also can t be walked back a moment later. health care and the iran deal on the plate today. the president talking about and teeing up announcement to a supportive crowd he called friends at the value voters summit moments ago. annual gathering of social conservatives. we are taking a little different route than we hoped because getting congress, they
and cost the government nearly $7 billion this year alone and this makes a huge difference in out of pocket costs for those folks. for example, on a traditional silver plan, for those who are just above the poverty line, the subsidy lowers the average deductible to $225 a year. without it, it is $3600 a year. you can see the big difference it makes. the president touched on this earlier today when he spoke at the value voters summit. you saw what we did with respect to health care. it s step by step by step. we are taking a little different route than we hoped because getting congress, they forgot what their pledges were. we are going a little different route, but you know what, in the end it s going to be just as effective and maybe better. one of our colleagues said elections have consequences day.
