Wasserman Schultz Statement on Vice President Biden's Trip to South Florida

Washington, DC, August 27, 2015
I'm looking forward to the Vice President's trip to South Florida next week. There are a number of questions and concerns that I have, along with my constituents and community leaders, about the agreement negotiated with the P5+1 nations and Iran, and given his extensive experience in the foreign policy arena and his intimate knowledge of the negotiations, I believe Vice President Biden can be an effective representative to respond to those questions.

U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL-23) released the following statement today in advance of Vice President Joe Biden's trip to South Florida next week:

“I’m looking forward to the Vice President’s trip to South Florida next week. There are a number of questions and concerns that I have, along with my constituents and community leaders, about the agreement negotiated with the P5+1 nations and Iran, and given his extensive experience in the foreign policy arena and his intimate knowledge of the negotiations, I believe Vice President Biden can be an effective representative to respond to those questions.

“Throughout my process of reviewing the agreement and speaking with nuclear experts, economists, and Administration officials, my goal has been and remains seeking as much information as possible to make an informed decision on this issue of great national and international security. Ultimately, I will make this most consequential of decisions based on what I believe is the best way to prevent Iran from achieving their nuclear ambitions.

“Further details about the meeting with the Vice President will be made available pending proper security and logistical protocols.”
