Trump Plays Defense

Trump Plays Defense

President Trump insists to his critics that Iran "surrendered" despite much evidence to the contrary. He took to social media this morning to push back on the widespread and very bipartisan criticism of the MOU. Regardless, it didn't take long for the first round of talks between the US and Iran to be derailed. Vice President Vance was scheduled to be in Switzerland right now, meeting with Iranian negotiators.

President Trump arrives in Europe, joining some of the world's most powerful leaders at the G7. We hope to get some clarity on the question dominating the summit: Is there actually an Iran deal now? Washington says there's a deal. Tehran says there's a deal. But when it comes to what the two sides actually agreed to, the accounts don't really match, and no text has been released, though Vice President Vance says it will be in the next few days.    Learn more about your ad choices.

The President Who Cried Iran Deal?

As today's show begins, we're following the latest twist on President Trump's 100+-day geopolitical roller coaster. In less than 24 hours, the Commander-in Chief went from threatening to expand the war in Iran to declaring an agreement and announcing the war is over, to calling the Iranians "very dishonorable people" who need to "get their act together and fast." If you're feeling a little dizzy, you're not alone.     Learn more about your ad choices.
