Trump said in an online video message on priorities for his first 100 days that he has asked his transition team “to develop a list of executive actions we can take on day one, to restore our laws and bring back our jobs. It’s about time.”

“On trade, I am going to issue our notification of intent to withdraw from the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a potential disaster for our country,” he said. “Instead, we will negotiate fair, bilateral trade deals that bring jobs and industry back onto American shores.”

Bolton Hopes Trump Will ‘Abrogate’ Iran Nuclear Deal Soon After Taking Office

 

(CNSNews.com) – Former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton, one of several reported contenders to be secretary of state in the Trump administration, said Monday it is important for the next president to rescind the Iran nuclear deal soon after taking office.

 

Referring to an agreement which President-elect Donald Trump has described as one of the worst he has seen, Bolton told Fox Business’ Lou Dobbs it was “important for Donald Trump, once inaugurated, to move very quickly in the early days of his presidency to abrogate this deal.”

 

“We’ve got to send a clear political signal that it’s a strategic mistake,” he said.
