Obama To Make Appeal To Senators Over Iran Sanctions

Doesn't want negotiations on Iran's nuclear program to be jeopardized

|


President Obama is preparing to meet Tuesday with key senators as part of a full-court press by the administration to ensure that hawks on the Hill hold off on any new sanctions for Iran while delicate talks are under way. 

A Senate Democratic leadership aide confirmed to Fox News that Obama will meet with members of the Senate leadership, as well as the chairmen and top Republicans on several key committees. The sitdown at the White House comes on the heels of visits by Secretary of State John Kerry and Vice President Biden on the same issue.
