Schumer, Grimm criticize Obama’s Iran nuclear agreement
U.S. Senator Charles Schumer, a Democrat, and Republican-Conservative U.S. Rep. Michael Grimm rarely agree on issues. But the two lawmakers found themselves on the same side after President Barack Obama announced the new agreement his administration had reached with Iran over that country’s nuclear weapons program.
Both Schumer and Grimm (R-C-Bay Ridge-Dyker Heights-Staten Island) released statements criticizing the agreement for going soft of Iran.
Schumer charged that the agreement, which calls for Iran to stop enriching uranium in exchange for strict economic sanctions imposed by the US and its allies to be reduced, lets Iran off easy.
