Trump responds to Netanyahu revelations on Iran
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleUS President Donald Trump responds to Netanyahu’s revelations that Iran lied about the nature of its nuclear program before entering into a multinational nuclear accord.
“In seven years, that deal will have expired and Iran is free to go ahead and create nuclear weapons,” he says during a press conference with visiting Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari. “That is not acceptable.”
Trump says Netanyahu’s press conference along with other recent events show that he has been “100 percent right” about Iran.
Trump says Iran’s behavior is “just not an acceptable situation.” He points to missile tests, saying Iran is “not sitting back idly.”
He has declined to say whether he will withdraw from the 2015 nuclear deal, but this afternoon says if the US does pull out, he still may negotiate a “real agreement.”
