Trump Expresses Ongoing Dissatisfaction with Iran Deal

President Donald Trump repeatedly voiced frustration with the 2015 Iran nuclear agreement (the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action) throughout his 2016 campaign and early presidency. He called the deal “a disaster,” “the worst deal ever,” and said it gave Iran “a free pass” on its nuclear program, while also criticizing the lack of strict enforcement mechanisms and the continued sanctions relief. His public statements helped set the stage for the U.S. withdrawal from the accord in May 2018. Views Nigeria
