Virginia Senator, Timothy Kaine, on Saturday described Donald Trump's withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal, known as the JCPOA (the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action), as a foolish act resulting from Trump's jealousy towards his predecessor Barack Obama.

"Thank goodness Europe is committed to diplomacy and peace. U.S. abandonment of Iran deal was idiotic and driven by Trump’s envy of Obama. The professionals—Secretary Mattis, General Dunford—urged Trump to stay in," Kaine tweeted.
