I am just not sure that a country that violates just about every international norm should be invited into an international organization because that doesn't necessarily change attitudes.

The Public Record
U.S. Secretary of State in the Trump administration; formerly U.S. Senator from Florida.
Secretary Kerry implied that Iran deserves the benefit of the agreement they struck.
I want to understand whether or not this alternative mechanism is allowed or not under this agreement.
The only way an agreement can bear the fruit that people laid out, is to make sure it is not violated.
By allowing a U.S. bank a general license to move this money offshore, it is in essence allowing them access to the U.S. dollar.
The President has said that, if it came down to it, that the United States would do that if it were necessary.
Well, if Iran does not honor its agreement, then Europe should not honor its part of the agreement either.
None of the nations most directly impacted by the Iranian threat, meaning none of our Arab allies, not Israel, none of them, are at the negotiating table?
The last time I checked, this country saved the world on at least two occasions in the last century. I do not remember the last time the world saved America.

It is my understanding that the U.S. sanctions are the biggest piece of the sanctions in place that have the greatest impact.
This argument that somehow if we walk away from the deal, this guarantees that sanctions go away and that Iran moves forward on a nuclear weapon is absurd.

The reason why it is important, it is important for companies anywhere in the world to know that whatever investment they make in Iran, they are risking it.
We haven't been creative or innovative enough in offering solutions. We've spent plenty of time opposing the president's agenda, but not enough time applying our principles of limited government and free enterprise to the challenges of our…
You can’t put strategy in legislation, that’s up to the commander-in-chief working with military officials.
This entire policy shift announced today is based on an illusion, on a lie. The lie and the illusion that more commerce and access to money and goods will translate to political freedom for the Cuban people.
I oppose all three for that purpose. That is not Congress' role to micromanage military tactics.
