WASHINGTON (AP) — Former Obama administration officials who played pivotal roles in brokering the Iran nuclear agreement are planning to brief congressional Democrats on the merits of the international accord.
That private session later Wednesday comes as President Donald Trump prepares to announce a decision that could lead to an unraveling of the pact.
Among those expected to speak to the lawmakers are former Secretary of State John Kerry, former Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz, and Wendy Sherman, the former undersecretary of state for political affairs.
Also set to attend are three ambassadors: Gerard Araud of France, Kim Darroch of Britain and Peter Wittig of Germany. Those countries are parties to the accord.
Trump may soon inform Congress that the Iran deal is contrary to America’s national security interests.
