Donald Trump, if elected as president in the fall, would not cancel the Iranian nuclear deal, one of Trump’s top foreign policy advisors said on Monday.

“No, he’s not going to get rid of an agreement that has the institutional signature of the United States,” Walid Phares told “>Trump said. “I have all my life — I love to buy bad contracts where … and I make those contracts good. This is a perfect example of taking over a bad contract. I will find something in that contract that will be very, very well-scrutinized by us, and I think they will not be able to do it, whatever it may be.”

At one point, Trump also “>told voters a day before Trump became the ultimate presumptive nominee, “If you agree with the Iranian nuclear deal; if you think it’s a good idea to send $150 billion to Ayatollah Khamenei, a radical Islamist terrorist who chants ‘Death to America,’ then you should vote for Donald and Hillary.”
