Trump touts new Iran deal as better than JCPOA

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has declared the United States is "never been closer to making a truly good deal" with Iran, contrasting it with the "horrific deal signed by Barack Hussein Obama." She credited President Donald Trump's "brilliant negotiating tactics" for the progress. This public optimism from the administration comes amid ongoing, sensitive diplomatic talks between the two nations in Islamabad. The statement reinforces Trump's repeated promotion of a potential new nuclear agreement that he claims will be far superior to the 2015 JCPOA.
