Members of Trump’s own party have lined up to condemn the deal, which pledges to help fund Iran and scrap sanctions
Republicans have turned on Donald Trump over his plan to end the war with Iran, accusing him of making the “worst foreign policy blunder in decades”.
The U.S. released the 14-point interim agreement on Wednesday as Trump signed the documents in Versailles, France. The terms included stopping the conflict and reopening the vital shipping route, the Strait of Hormuz, but also financing Iran’s recovery with a $300bn fund and scrapping sanctions.
“Reagan is rolling over in his grave,” said Louisiana senator Bill Cassidy on Wednesday, referring to the former president Trump admires.
The blunder was getting involved at all. This MOU is about as “good” a deal as possible, under the circumstances.
And it really isn’t even a “deal.” The MOU is just a promise to talk about specific things during the actual negotiations later on. And a lot of those things are non-starters for either Trump or Iran.
And Israel can come along and fark the whole thing up at any time.
