WASHINGTON – A year after the United States and five other world powers — including the United Kingdom, France, China, Russia, and Germany — signed a controversial nuclear agreement with Iran, U.S. Senator Kelly Ayotte (R-N.H.) is joining with several Republican colleagues to try and stop the Obama administration from making further "ransom" payments to the Iranian government.
Yesterday, Sen. Ayotte joined Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) and other Republican lawmakers in introducing the No Ransom Payments Act of 2016, which would require Tehran to return $1.7 billion paid by the U.S. to settle a decades old dispute and would prohibit the federal government from making additional payments to the terrorist-sponsoring regime.
