WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — President Barack Obama will give a speech at the American University in Washington, DC on August 5 to promote the Iran nuclear agreement, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest stated in a briefing on Friday.
"On this coming Wednesday next week, the President will travel to American University in Washington, DC to deliver a speech on the historic deal reached by the United States with our partners and allies to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon," Earnest said.
Earnest explained that Obama’s forthcoming speech at American University is a continuation of his efforts “to make the case for why the Iran deal verifiably prevents Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.”
Under US law, members of Congress have 60 days to fully review and approve or disapprove the final nuclear deal with Iran.
