US President Barack Obama says revoking a nuclear agreement with Iran following his second term in the White House by another president would be foolish.
The response was made after Wisconsin governor and potential presidential candidate Scott Walker last week promised to undo the agreement if he were elected president in 2016.
"It would be a foolish approach to take, and, you know, perhaps Mr. Walker, after he's taken some time to bone up on foreign policy, will feel the same way," Obama told NPR on Tuesday.
The US president also noted that his successor would not revoke the deal.
"I am confident that any president who gets elected will be knowledgeable enough about foreign policy and knowledgeable enough about the traditions and precedents of presidential power that they won't start calling to question the capacity of the executive branch of the United States to enter into agreements with other countries," Obama said.
He also said the move would make problems in Washingtons relation with its allies and embolden the countrys enemies.
In a statement on Tuesday, Wisconsin governor expressed his dissatisfactions with Obamas response.
"Americans would be better served by a president who spent more time working with governors and members of Congress rather than attacking them," Walker said in the statement to CNN.
A landmark framework agreement was reached between Iran and the P5+1 group the US, Britain, France, China, Russia and Germany in Switzerland on April 2.
The two sides announced the agreement in a joint statement at the end of eight days of nuclear negotiations in the Swiss city of Lausanne last week. They will work to draw up a final accord by the end of the June 30 deadline.
On Monday, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell pledged to examine legislation proposed by Senators Bob Corker and Bob Menendez requiring Congress to review any final nuclear deal with Iran.
The Senate Foreign Relations Committee is expected to approve the bill on April 14.
President Obama has insisted that he would veto any legislation against the nuclear deal.
