The United States has withdrawn
form JCPOA describing this agreement as threatening the stability of the Middle
East, Supporting Hamas, the Taliban and al Qaeda, financing terrorism and
threatening US security and stability. President Donald Trump blamed his
predecessor, President Obama, by referring to the agreement as
<<disastrous.>> The US
decision to withdraw from the agreement has negative repercussions, with
possible impact on relationship between the US administration and its European
allies. Obviously, Trump’s decision would affect the credibility of the United
States of America with its allies and its failure to comply with concluded
agreements, portraying Washington as irresponsible party.
