Donald Trump says the Iran nuclear deal negotiated under former President Barack Obama was “horrible,” while arguing that his administration can reach a better agreement with Iran. The remarks reflect Trump’s stated view that negotiations can be improved and that a new deal would better protect U.S. interests. At the same time, reporting notes uncertainty about whether a significantly stronger alternative is achievable. Sources describe a tension between Trump’s confidence in being able to forge a more favorable arrangement and doubts about the prospects for securing a new deal that offers improved terms compared with the existing framework.
The articles focus on Trump’s criticism of the prior agreement and his broader position on what an improved deal would require. They also highlight that any effort to renegotiate would depend on Iran’s willingness to accept revised terms and on how negotiations would proceed. Overall, the coverage presents Trump’s comments alongside skepticism that changing the deal would necessarily produce better outcomes for all parties.
