The former American Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs, Wendy Sherman, has criticized president Trump, and his administration, for withdrawing from the 1955 Treaty of Amity with Iran, saying: "What Trump does not understand is that other countries also have interests."

Iran Press / America-  Wendy Sherman, a former US assistant secretary of state and a member of the US nuclear negotiating team, talking to NBC said that such a move was not strange to the  Donald Trump government, adding that "the White House National Security Advisor, John Bolton, does not like any international treaty."

Sherman added: "In Trump's speech at the UN General Assembly last week, we heard that he only believes in nationalism and national sovereignty, and multilateralism was not something he liked."

The senior US diplomat in Barack Obama's administration, described the approach of the Trump administration in an article by McMaster, a former US national security adviser, in which the international scene was described as an arena of rival nations, not a League of Nations.

Pointing to the second international treaty that the Trump administration had withdrawn from on the same day, Wendy Sherman stressed that leaving the 1961 Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations also jeopardizes American diplomats.

Hours after Washington announced its withdrawal from the amity treaty, John Bolton  announced the US was withdrawing from an optional protocol to the Vienna Convention, according to Donald Trump's orders.

The International Court of Justice ordered the United States to lift sanctions on Iran that affect imports of humanitarian goods and products and services linked to the safety of civil aviation.
