Former President Barack Obama says that Donald Trump’s eventual deal with Iran, if it materializes, will not be a significant departure from the 2015 agreement he inked with Tehran after two years of negotiations. The very one Trump ripped up.
“It is doubtful that any agreement that arises is going to be significantly different, or in a significant improvement from the deal that we had in the first place, and had worked for a long stretch of time before we, the United States, pulled out of it,” the former president told ABC’s Robin Roberts in a Good Morning America interview to air Wednesday. An excerpt was released Sunday, prior to Trump’s announcement of the extension of a 60-day ceasefire agreement.
