Trump says he does not make bad deals, but even Republican hawks doubt that now
Trump's negotiations with Iran have not yielded significant progress on nuclear issues, despite substantial financial investment. Critics from both parties question the effectiveness of his approach, suggesting it has only strengthened Iran's hardline regime. The U.S. appears to be conceding by unfreezing Iranian assets in exchange for a return to prewar commercial activity.
- ▪Trump has spent billions on negotiations but achieved no further progress on nuclear issues since February.
- ▪The U.S. has agreed to unfreeze billions of Iranian assets for a more hardline regime than before the conflict.
- ▪Critics, including Republican hawks, argue that Trump's approach has not produced the desired concessions from Iran.
