WASHINGTON _ Two Democratic presidential candidates said they would try to renegotiate terms of a landmark nuclear deal with Iran before reentering the U.S. into the agreement if elected.
Sens. Cory Booker of New Jersey and Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota hedged when asked at the first Democratic debate of the 2020 primary whether they would rejoin the 2015 nonproliferation agreement in its original form.
Booker and Klobuchar, who both voted in 2015 in favor of the deal, said they would take the opportunity to negotiate a better agreement. Trump has called for a broad new deal with Iran that would demand fundamental changes to their foreign policy.
