Summary
President Donald Trump and his White House inner circle are defending their peace efforts with Iran against criticism from some Republicans, including former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Sen. Ted Cruz. Trump has rebuked his predecessors and current critics, saying the current negotiations are proceeding in an orderly and constructive manner. Pompeo has suggested that the deal being floated with Iran is similar to the Obama-era nuclear deal, while Cruz has expressed concerns that the deal would give billions of dollars to the Iranian regime. Trump’s advisors have pushed back against these criticisms, with some accusing Pompeo of abusing his residual security clearance and Cruz of trying to undermine the President.
