US President Donald Trump hits back at Democratic politicians for criticizing his emerging deal with Iran, stressing that the negotiations have not finalized anything and will only result in a “great and meaningful” deal.
“The deal with Iran will either be a great and meaningful one, or there will be no deal,” Trump writes in a lengthy post on Truth Social.
He reiterates that the deal “will be the exact opposite” of the JCPOA negotiated by the Obama Administration that he calls “a direct and open path to a Nuclear Weapon for Iran,” saying, “No, I don’t do deals like that!”
