NOT SURPRISINGLY, THERE ARE DIFFERING REACTIONS AMONG NEW MEXICO POLITICIANS TO THE PRESIDENT’S DECISION TO PULL OUT OF THE IRAN NUCLEAR DEAL. REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMAN STEVE PEARCE SUPPORTS THE MOVE, RELEASING A STATEMENT SAYING THE IRAN DEAL WAS DANGEROUS FROM THE BEGINNING AND ACTED AGAINST THE INTEREST OF NATIONAL SECURITY.
DEMOCRATIC SENATOR TOM UDALL, ON THE OTHER HAND, SAYS THE PRESIDENT’S DECISION IS A DANGEROUS MISTAKE THAT WILL DO GRAVE DAMAGE TO OUR GLOBAL STANDING AND OUR EFFORTS TO STOP A NUCLEAR IRAN. AND SENATOR MARTIN HEINRICH SAYS THE PRESIDENT JUST HANDED RELIGIOUS EXTREMISTS IN IRAN’S GOVERNMENT A MAJOR VICTORY.
