Pompeo threatens China with sanctions over Iran arms deals


pompeo worthy christian news

(Worthy News) – President Trump will impose sanctions on China if Beijing authorizes arms sales to Iran following his move to dismantle the 2015 nuclear deal and renew international sanctions on Tehran.

“We’re going to go after every violation that we can muster the resources to respond to,” Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told the Washington Examiner. “That will be [the case], whether it’s Chinese violations or violations from the Russians, arms or economic sales; these U.N. Security Council resolutions are serious business.”

Pompeo raised that threat as the administration moved in the United Nations Security Council to implement the “snapback” of all the sanctions waived at the implementation of the nuclear pact. That legal maneuver was undertaken in order to preserve an international arms embargo scheduled to expire next month under the terms of the Iran deal, even though key European allies joined with Russia and China in arguing that the United States has no right to invoke snapback due to Trump’s 2018 withdrawal from the accord.
