UPDATE ON THE IRAN NUCLEAR AGREEMENT (JCPOA) UNDER THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION

摘要

The Iran Nuclear Agreement (JCPOA) is facing something of an uncertain future under the new US Administration. President Trump has repeatedly expressed his concerns over the agreement, referring to it as "one of the worst and most one-sided transactions the United States has ever entered into" (https://www.whitehouse. gov/the-press-office/2017/09/19/remarks -president-trump-72nd-session-united-nations-general-assembly [Accessed 30 December 2017]). The President's remarks have generated a great deal of speculation as to whether or not the administration is formulating a new policy that would lead to its eventual withdrawal from the JCPOA.
