NEW YORK — President Trump teased reporters Wednesday during a bilateral meeting with Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas, telling them he has made up his mind on whether to scrap the Iran nuclear deal but declining to reveal his decision.
“I have decided,” Trump mouthed in response to a shouted question on the 2015 agreement that he described as a “major embarrassment” a day earlier.
“I’ll let you know,” he then added.
Trump issued a searing indictment of the Obama-era deal with Iran during his maiden speech to the U.N. General Assembly on Tuesday, calling it “one of the worst and most one-sided transactions the United States has ever entered into.”
The White House is expected to make an announcement next month on whether Trump will certify that Iran is complying with the terms of the agreement next month.
