Nobel Peace Prize winner on Trump pulling out of Iran deal: 'This is so stupid!'
A 2017 winner of the Nobel Peace Prize on Tuesday tore into President Trump over the expected announcement that he will pull the U.S. out of the Iran nuclear deal, saying that doing so would be “so stupid.”
Beatrice Fihn, executive director of the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN), tweeted an all-caps message expressing her frustration with the decision.
“I see lots of smart people making eloquent arguments to why it's wrong to violate the Iran deal and I just want to add mine,” Fihn tweeted. “THIS IS SO STUPID! I CAN'T BELIEVE THE REST WORLD HAS TO PUT UP WITH THIS STUFF RIGHT NOW, LIKE WE DON'T HAVE OTHER PROBLEMS ON OUR MIND AT THE MOMENT?”
