During the G7 summit in
Évian-les-Bains, France, from June 15-17, President Trump criticized former
President Obama's 2016 cash settlement to Iran, using it to contrast his own
tough stance.
The comments came amid a new U.S.-Iran
memorandum of understanding, signed virtually on Sunday, which extends a
ceasefire, reopens the Strait of Hormuz for global oil flow, and pushes nuclear
talks with strict oversight—a formal signing is planned for Friday in Geneva.
Trump hailed the deal as blocking Iran's
nuclear path forever, while warning of bombs if they falter; reactions split
along partisan lines, with supporters loving his direct talk and critics
slamming the language.
