Republican presidential candidates Senator Ted Cruz and Donald Trump are teaming up in opposing the Iran nuclear deal.According to NBC News, Cruz has invited Trump to Washington for an upcoming rally against the deal.
The two are set to appear at an event organized by the Tea Party Patriots, the Center for Security Politics, and the Zionist Organization of America (ZOA), according to the Cruz campaign.
Mort Klein, the ZOA president, said the rally has been in the works for weeks, though Trump's inclusion is a relatively new development.
"I think it's of great value to have a person who will likely command coverage of this rally, of this issue, like Donald Trump would be able to," he said, according to NBC News. "I think it's a good thing. I don't care if he sucks the air out of the room."
Klein, who said the rally is tentatively set for September 9, added, "Maybe [Trump] will be covered more than anyone else at the rally. Fine. The issue's all that matters to me, and getting it covered, and trying to stop this disaster for our country."
Cruz has made his opposition to the Iran agreement a key part of his campaign platform, vowing to "rip to shreds" the deal on the first day of a Cruz presidency.
Trump has also been vocal of his opposition to the deal, warning several weeks ago that it would lead to a doomsday scenario. (READ MORE)
