US President Donald Trump tells the New York Post he is “not happy” with the appointment of Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei to replace his slain father as Iran’s supreme leader

“Not going to tell you. I’m not happy with him,” Trump tells the Post from his Doral golf club near Miami, when asked about his plans for the younger Khamenei.
