In a tweet, Trump stated that the agreement we are negotiating with Iran will be far better than the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) (the Iran nuclear deal). The latter, drafted by Barack Hussein Obama and Sleepy Joe Biden, is one of the worst security agreements in the history of our country. It was a guaranteed path to nuclear weapons—something the agreement we are negotiating will not and cannot allow. They (the previous administration) loaded $1.7 billion in cash onto Boeing 757s and sent it to Iran, allowing the Iranian leadership to spend it as they pleased. They emptied banks in Washington, Virginia, and Maryland. Those bankers said they had never seen anything like it. In addition, hundreds of billions of dollars were paid to Iran. If I hadn't terminated that "agreement," nuclear weapons would have been used to attack Israel and various parts of the Middle East, including our cherished U.S. military bases. An agreement reached during Trump's term will guarantee peace, security, and safeguards, not only for Israel and the Middle East, but also for Europe, the United States, and everywhere else. This will be something the whole world can be proud of, instead of the years of embarrassment and humiliation we have been forced to endure due to incompetent and cowardly leadership, as we have done for many years.
