Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleTrump tells Netanyahu during their working meeting at Jerusalem’s King David Hotel that Iran should be grateful to the US for the benefits it received under the “terrible” 2015 nuclear deal.
“We gave them wealth and prosperity…and an ability to continue with terror,” he says.
“Iran will never have a nuclear weapon, that I can tell you,” Trump adds.
The president says the “terrible” nuclear deal reached with Iran under his predecessor Barack Obama has emboldened the Islamic republic.
Netanyahu thanks him for taking a stance against Iran a day earlier in a speech the US president gave in Saudi Arabia.
Trump adds that he is “honored” to be the first sitting US president to visit the Western Wall earlier today.
