New deal with Iran will be better than old one, Trump says

President Donald Trump said on Monday he believed a nuclear deal the US is negotiating with Iran will be better than the JCPOA, the international agreement agreed to in 2015 under then US President Barack Obama to curb Tehran's nuclear programme.

"The DEAL that we are making with Iran will be FAR BETTER than the JCPOA, commonly referred to as 'The Iran Nuclear Deal'," Trump wrote in a social media post after criticism from Democrats and some nuclear experts that he is rushing negotiations on a highly complex topic.
