Today, as expected the Carnival Barker in Chief has decided to ditch the P5+1 agreement with Iran which sought to curb its nuclear ambitions. While certainly not perfect (Name a treaty that is.) it certainly created an environment which gave the government an incentive or a means to have crippling economic scansions lifted. As I stated earlier, Donald Trump had several reasons for doing this none of which were remotely rational. Remember he's the one who used birtherism to launch racialy motivated attacks against former President Obama. At the 2011 White House Correspondent's President Obama made several jokes about the situation with Donald Trump in attendance. Many believe that incident was the impedes for his presidential campaign. Conversely Donald Trump would like to erase Barack Obama from history. Remember he is a racist. An additional consequences could be a Middle East arms, Iran restarting its nuclear programme and North Korea concluding that it's in their best interests for continued development of its nuclear arsenal.
Kim-Jong un and Donald Trump working out the details for summit meeting which will be used to discuss North Korea's nuclear weapons. Given todays developments North Korea will conclude that any agreement reached will be contingent upon the emotional state of Donald Trump. To put it bluntly. North Korea will not have any reason to trust the American government if a treaty is signed.

US President Donald Trump says he will withdraw the US from an Obama-era nuclear agreement with Iran.
Calling it "decaying and rotten", he said the deal was "an embarrassment" to him "as a citizen".
Going against advice from European allies, he said he would reimpose economic sanctions that were waived when the deal was signed in 2015.
In response, Iran said it was preparing to restart uranium enrichment, key for making both nuclear energy and weapons.
Iran's President Hassan Rouhani said: "The US has announced that it doesn't respect its commitments.
"I have ordered the Atomic Energy Organisation of Iran to be ready for action if needed, so that if necessary we can resume our enrichment on an industrial level without any limitations."
