But, right now we're undergoing a 90 day review, and I think the statement the secretary of state made to Congress clearly stated that the president is directing the National Security Council to lead an interagency review of the plan and evaluate whether suspension sanctions related to Iran, pursuant to the JCPOA (Iran nuclear deal) are in the vital interest of our national security. The letter clearly lays out what the president is going to do to make sure they are living up to their agreement."

STORYLINE:

White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer said on Wednesday that the US administration is "doing the prudent thing" by conducting a 90-day interagency review of the Iran nuclear deal to make sure Iran is living up to its side of the agreement.

"Part of this is to get the entire team to look at it the next 90 days, review that is required under the deal," Spicer said. "So we will have recommendations presented to the president on where the deal stands and how to act further."

The Trump administration has notified Congress that Iran is complying with the terms of the 2015 nuclear deal negotiated by former President Barack Obama, and says the U.S. has extended the sanctions relief given to the Islamic republic in exchange for curbs on its atomic program.

However, in a letter sent late Tuesday to House Speaker Paul Ryan, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said the administration has undertaken a full review of the agreement, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.

The certification of Iran's compliance, which must be sent to Congress every 90 days, is the first issued by the Trump administration.

The deadline for this certification was midnight.

As a candidate in the 2016 presidential election, Donald Trump was an outspoken critic of the deal but had offered conflicting opinions on whether he would try to scrap it, modify it or keep it in place with more strenuous enforcement.

Tuesday's determination suggested that while Trump agreed with findings by the U.N.'s nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency, that Iran is keeping to its end of the bargain, he is looking for another way to ratchet up pressure on Tehran.

Spicer also told reporters at the briefing that Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas was scheduled to visit Washington early in May and hold talks with Trump.

President Donald Trump will hold meetings with a long list of world leaders during his trip to Argentina for the G-20 later this week, including German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Russian President Vladimir Putin, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and China's Xi Jinping.

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders called the trip an opportunity for the president to cement relations with other world leaders and advance a global economic system based on "free, fair and reciprocal trade."

Sanders made the comments at a White House press briefing Tuesday, the first since October.

Sanders also said she is unaware of any conversations about a potential pardon for former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort.

Prosecutors with special counsel Robert Mueller's office accused Manafort on Monday of lying to them and said he had violated a plea agreement struck in September.

Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani has previously suggested Manafort and others could be eligible for pardons at the end of Mueller's Russia investigation.

Regarding the use of tear gas against Central American migrants in Mexico over the weekend, Sanders defended the action of U.S. border agents, saying the White House "would never want children to be in harm's way in any capacity whatsoever."  But she added, that's why the administration continues to "encourage people to follow the law and go to ports of entry."

Sanders said law enforcement used "appropriate non-lethal force to protect themselves."

The press secretary also defended President Donald Trump's comments that he doesn't believe a key finding of a climate change report issued by his own administration, insisting the report "is based on the most extreme model scenario which contradicts long established trends."

Sanders went on to say that modeling the climate "is an extremely complicated science that is never exact."  She said Trump and the US are continuing to lead the world "on what matters most in this process and that's on having clean air, clean water."

2. SOUNDBITE (English) Sarah Sanders, White House Press Secretary:

"Good afternoon. Later this week the president and first lady will travel to Argentina for the G20 summit. President Trump's participation in the G20 summit is a key opportunity to reiterate his commitment to domestic and global economic growth and prosperity, cement relations with other world leaders and advance a global economic system that is based on fair economic competition and free, fair and reciprocal trade. While at the G20, the president and the delegation will interact with many leaders including bilateral meetings with the president of Argentina, the president of Russia, Prime Minister of Japan and the chancellor of Germany in a working dinner with the president of China."

3. UPSOUND: Reporter cutaways and question:

"Sarah, given that the president said this morning that Robert Mueller is ruining people's lives, is he considering a pardon for Paul Manafort or for others who are prosecuted or have been prosecuted?"

4. SOUNDBITE (English) Sarah Sanders, White House Press Secretary:

"I'm not aware of any conversations for anyone's pardon involving this process.

(Reporter: And if I can follow up, he also said this morning Mueller is doing tremendous damage to the criminal justice system. If that's true, is he considering picking up the phone, calling his acting attorney general and saying fire Robert Mueller?)

Look, I think that the president has had Robert Mueller doing his job for the last two years. And he could have taken action at any point and he hasn't. So, I'll let that speak for itself. He has no intent to do anything."

5. Cutaway of reporter asking question on migrants and tear gas

6. SOUNDBITE (English) Sarah Sanders, White House Press Secretary:

"Certainly the White House would never want children to be in harm's way in any capacity whatsoever. However, that is why we are continuing to encourage people to follow the law and go to ports of entry. Law enforcement officials have used appropriate non-lethal force to protect themselves and prevent an illegal rush across the border. And let's also not forget that this isn't the first time that non-lethal force like this has been used. In fact, tear gas was used on average of once a month during the Obama administration for very similar circumstances. In fact they were actually for far less circumstances because they didn't have the same numbers in the mass rush that we're seeing in this caravan take place. Certainly no one wants women or children or any individuals to have this happen, which is why we've encouraged them to actually follow the law and go to ports of entry."

7. Cutaway of reporter asking question

8. SOUNDBITE (English) Sarah Sanders, White House Press Secretary:

"The president is certainly leading on what matters most in this process and that's on having clean air, clean water. In fact, the United States continues to be a leader on that front. Even Obama's undersecretary for science didn't believe the radical conclusions of the report that was released and you have to look at the fact that this report is based on the most extreme model scenario which contradicts long established trends. Modeling the climate is an extremely complicated science that is never exact. The biggest thing that we can do is focus on how to make sure we have the cleanest air, the cleanest water, and the president is certainly doing that and certainly leaning on that front."
