U.S. Rep Gregory W. Meeks Travels to Europe to Discuss Iran Deal, Transatlantic Partnership, Relations with Russia

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Congressman Gregory W. Meeks (D-NY), ranking member of the House Subcommittee on Europe, Eurasia, and Emerging Threats, was honored to recently join the Chairman of the Subcommittee, Congressman Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA), on a fact finding mission to Europe to discuss the Iran deal with the International Atomic Energy Agency and examine the current state of European and NATO security in light of Russian aggression in Ukraine.

“Ahead of Congress’ important vote on the historic P5+1 negotiated Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action on Iran, I am closely reviewing what President Obama and the international community have proposed. I am doing my due diligence to thoroughly examine the agreement and all its implications before I make a final decision. Meeting with the IAEA to get specific answers about the agreement and its role in implementation was of particular importance to me. The agenda also included high-level meetings to discuss the future of European security with our NATO allies in the region and with the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, as well as meetings with Russian officials to discuss the future of our relationship in these precarious times.”
