How lawmakers are reacting to Trump's decision
From CNN's Daniella Diaz
President Trump's decision to pull the US out of the Iran deal sparked outrage from Democrats and at least some criticism from his own party.
Here's what lawmakers are saying:
Sen. Mark Warner (D-Virginia): In a statement, he said that such a move drives "a wedge between us and our allies."
Sen. Bob Menendez (D-New Jersey): He said it was "a huge mistake to withdraw without a plan."
Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Virginia): "I think he will be driving the wedge between the United States and our European allies," he said.
Rep. Mike Turner (R-Ohio): "Without proof that Iran is in violation of the agreement, it is a mistake to fully withdraw from this deal," he said in a statement.
Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tennessee): He said it was disappointing the White House couldn't reach an agreement with US allies, but is confident the President will work for a better deal.
Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine): She said the Iran deal had been flawed, but she preferred an approach where the U.S would "remedy those flaws" with allies rather than walking away all together.
