Juan Vargas (D-CA), Peter Roskam (R-IL), and Grace Meng (D-NY) sent a letter to United States Trade Representative (USTR) Michael Froman, expressing their opposition to Iran’s potential World Trade Organization (WTO) membership and asking for more information regarding the Administration’s position. The Members wrote, “As Iran remains the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism and continues to be a destabilizing force in the Middle East, maintaining our robust sanctions regime is critical. Iran must be held responsible for its actions, and our ability to impose sanctions is vital in deterring Iran from engaging in nefarious activities.” To read the full letter, click HERE. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
