Obama tried to ‘bribe his way out’ of 2015 Iran nuclear deal: Trump

Obama tried to ‘bribe his way out’ of 2015 Iran nuclear deal: Trump The US President Donald Trump accused former president Barack Obama of “bribing” Iran with $1.7 billion to agree to the 2015 nuclear agreement. “The JCPOA (Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action) done by Obama – he handed them $1.7bn in cash, green cash from banks, into a Boeing 757 and flew it into Iran. And they stood at the plane. I have pictures of it,” Trump told reporters on Wednesday at the G7 summit. “He (Obama) tried to bribe his way out. I didn’t try to do that," Trump said, adding the new deal with Iran is “a wall to a nuclear weapon.” “His deal was a road to a nuclear weapon. My deal, they can't have a nuclear, they get blown up.” In 2015, former US President Obama secured a nuclear deal with Iran in exchange for sanctions relief, a process that took two years to finalise. Trump withdrew the US from that accord during his first term.
