Trump Launches Foul-Mouthed Rant About Obama at G7 Conference

Trump criticized Obama's 2015 Iran nuclear deal at the G7, claiming a $1.7 billion settlement constituted a bribe, revisiting a dispute from his first term.

  • On Wednesday, President Donald Trump accused former President Barack Obama of "bribing" Iran during the 2015 nuclear deal negotiations while speaking to reporters at the G7 summit in France.
  • Trump claimed Obama handed Iran $1.7bn in cash via a Boeing 757 for the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, stating, "I didn't try to do that."
  • Regarding the current MOU, Trump reserved the right to "bomb the hell out of" the Middle Eastern nation if they reject terms, adding, "If it works out, I'm going to take the credit."
  • Unlike previous deals, Trump agreed to unfreeze assets and lift sanctions, granting Iran access to a $300 billion reconstruction fund without conditions Obama previously imposed.
  • Trump chronicler Aaron Rupar characterized the president as being "off the rails" during the summit's final day, while Trump claimed Iranians "laughed at Obama" and insulted the former leader.
