So is trump then
President Donald Trump has left the impression with foreign officials, members of his administration, and others involved in Iranian negotiations that he is actively considering a French plan to extend a $15 billion credit line to the Iranians if Tehran comes back into compliance with the
Obama-eranuclear deal.
Insulting Americans? You mean like insulting people who live in Baltimore?
Yeah...except that is not true.
What IS true, is that two unidentified people say they believe it is true.
That is not the same as actually happening.
The day Trump loans Iran American taxpayer dollars with no strings attached, and not guaranteed like Obama did... get back with us.
I will. And what will you say then?
You see, the more we see Trump flip flopping and going back to doing the same things Obama was doing, the more it confirms how full of shit you Republicans are. You criticize Obama for doing something and then 4 years later you don't mind Trump doing the same thing. Why?

I hope you do, but it isn't going to happen.
I don't have a problem loaning Iran a VERY short term loan, 100% backed by oil and verifying it will be used only for humanitarian needs of the Iranian people.
That is what Obama said he was doing, but in reality not only loaned them unsecured money, but then handed over their illegal funds back to them WITH interest. What a guy!!!
Trump might pay Iran to remain in nuclear deal he once called “horrible”
Trump has made no secret of his disgust for the nuclear deal negotiated by his predecessor, Barack Obama. He’s
called it “no good” and “horrible,” and last year—with the support of then-national security adviser John Bolton—he finally abandoned it. The path toward diplomacy since then has been perilous as Trump has ratcheted up sanctions on Iran as part of his “maximum pressure” strategy. Iran, meanwhile, has begun breaking the terms of the 2015 agreement and is
pledging not to negotiate with the US until sanctions are lifted.
Now Trump is reportedly mulling a significant, and contradictory, change of course. According to the
Daily Beast, he “is actively considering a French plan to extend a $15 billion credit line to the Iranians if Tehran comes back into compliance” with Obama’s nuclear deal. The bailout plan would offset a decline in Iran’s oil sales and assist its
struggling economy. The idea was originally introduced by French President Emmanuel Macron and Trump appears to have recently come around to it. Trump said at the G7 meeting in France last month that Iran might need a “short-term letter of credit or loan” that would “get them over a very rough patch,” but his aides later said Trump would only consider the idea “after a new agreement” was reached with Iran, the
New York Times reported.
The
Daily Beast’s more recent reporting suggests Trump is closer to accepting the idea than previously thought. “Several sources” told the news outlet that “foreign officials are expecting Trump to either agree to cooperate on the French deal or to offer to ease some sanctions on Tehran.” The arrangement could be figured out this week as Trump and President Hassan Rouhani of Iran
are both expected to attend the United Nations General Assembly meeting in New York.
Flip flop.
