Obama Blasts ‘Bully’ Trump Amid Furor Over Vile Slur
Key Points:
- Former President Barack Obama criticized Donald Trump's emerging agreement with Iran, suggesting it may closely resemble the 2015 nuclear deal that Trump previously opposed and withdrew from.
- Obama argued that the original agreement successfully curbed Iran's nuclear program until the U.S. exited under Trump, and he doubts any new deal will be significantly different or better.
- Trump announced that a new U.S.-Iran agreement is nearly complete and will be signed in Switzerland, aiming to restore stability in the Strait of Hormuz and impose restrictions on Iran's nuclear activities.
- The new deal's details remain unclear and will be negotiated over the next 60 days, but it reportedly includes Iran eliminating its stockpile of highly enriched uranium and submitting to international verification before sanctions relief.
- The announcement coincided with controversy after a UFC fighter made a racist slur about former First Lady Michelle Obama during a White House event Trump hosted, which Trump praised on social media.
