Trump is even encouraging our European allies to join in and make a better deal, but they refuse.. likely because they just don't like Trump. How's that for logical reasoning?
2) Pulling out of the deal sends an important message to North Korea that Trump is willing to make bold decisions on important issues. This is necessary for successful negotiations in the upcoming summit. If Kim thinks Trump will cave whenever our allies, or any other country for that matter, disagree with us on something, don't you think Kim would take advantage of that opportunity? Kim now knows that Trump is crazy enough to risk going to war over their nukes, and that is, by all accounts, a good thing.

The deal wasn't perfect no one disagrees, but it was signed off buy 6 countries. One reason the European allies disagree was that this may be the best we can get, the perfect agreement doesn't exist. Like any deal you take what you can get. Yes it could be repealed by the next president but it was an agreement by our country and several others.
The message we sent to Kim is that any agreement we come up with is subject to cancellation. To claim that Trump is willing to go to war with NK and kill millions of people including American soldiers is complete nonsense. So can I assume that any agreement with NK will be by treaty ratified by congress, that should prove interesting.
So what was the emergency that required this to be cancelled at this time, where was the negotiation by this administration. All agree that Iran was in compliance, so why not work with other countries to do the hard work of negotiation rather than pull the plug.
All we did was reinforce the position of the Iranian rightwing and we don't even have a plan.
