On the recordFebruary 10, 2016
The Senator from Tennessee talked about his disappointment with the United Nations. I want to go back over some of the points we talked about earlier today. Senator Cardin, our colleague from Maryland, mentioned the fact that the United States has very similar approaches to our sanctions that brought Iran to the negotiation table in the first place-- sanctions that we levied against Iran brought them to the negotiating table--and the fact that the United States has levied almost eight times more sanctions against Iran than we have a regime that does possess a nuclear weapon. I think we have more work to do in the United States. This bill is a great step, but also the United Nations--and your expression of disappointment with the United Nations is well stated.
