| dc.description.abstract | The P5+1 countries (United States, France, United Kingdom, Russia, China, and
Germany) with Iran formed a nuclear agreement called the Joint Comprehensive
Plan of Action (JCPOA) in 2015. The JCPOA has the goal of limiting Iran's nuclear
activities only as a technological development activity, not for nuclear weapons
purposed. When the United States was under Donald Trump's administration, he
stated that the United States should withdraw from JCPOA. The decision was
created from his consideration as president at the time of the JCPOA applied.
Rational choice theory and game theory are used to analyze Donald Trump's
decision. Donald Trump views that the JCPOA did not have a major influence in
stopping Iran's nuclear activities entirely. In addition, Iran's political and economic
influence became a threat to the United States when the JCPOA took effect.
Moreover, JCPOA was not giving beneficial for the United States from Donald
Trump’s point of view. | en_US |
