United States Secretary of Treasury Jack Lew was booed Sunday as he spoke at the annual Jerusalem Post annual conference in New York about the Iran nuclear deal and how it relates to Israel’s security.
During the speech, Lew mentioned that keeping Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon has always been a priority of the Obama administration and was backed up by action. His comments were quickly met with boos and continued throughout his speech.
Lew went on to talk about how the Treasury Department had worked with Congress, different federal agencies within the federal government, and partners across the world to build an international sanctions regime against Iran.
“Because of the aggressive sanctions that have been put in place for over a decade, Iran has been completely cut off the international financial system,” Lew said to light applause.
