President Trump's Chance To Kill The Iran Nuclear Deal Is Running Out
When President Trump returns to Washington in the new year, one of the first moves he could make is killing the Iran Nuclear Deal. He will only have a few weeks before coming up against legal deadlines to impose sanctions against Tehran.
Eugene Scott, Political Reporter at The Washington Post, breaks down the deadlines the president faces. On the campaign trail, President Trump promised to undo what he called the "worst deal ever."
The Obama-era deal lifted U.S. and European sanctions on Iran in exchange for limits on Tehran’s nuclear program. Many lawmakers and foreign policy advisers to the president are trying to persuade President Trump not to kill the deal. However, he did not take those same policy advisers' advice when it came to moving the U.S. Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem.
President Donald Trump has ordered the U.S. to stop minting pennies. His surprise announcement comes after decades of unsuccessful efforts to phase out the 1-cent coin. Advocates for ditching the penny cite its high production cost and limited utility. Fans of the penny cite its usefulness in charity drives and relative bargain in production costs compared with the nickel. Here's a look at some question surrounding Trump's order.
The Trump administration has ordered the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to stop nearly all its work, effectively shutting down the agency that was created to protect consumers after the 2008 financial crisis and subprime mortgage-lending scandal. Russell Vought is the newly installed director of the Office of Management and Budget. Vought directed the CFPB in a Saturday night email to stop work on proposed rules, to suspend the effective dates on any rules that were finalized but not yet effective, and to stop investigative work and not begin any new investigations. The agency has been a target of conservatives since President Barack Obama created it following the 2007-2008 financial crisis.
