President Donald Trump blasted Sen. Jack Reed, D-R.I., on Sunday after he criticized the administration’s emerging Iran agreement and compared it unfavorably to former President Barack Obama’s 2015 nuclear deal.
In a Truth Social post, Trump accused Reed of misrepresenting the proposed agreement and defended it as a far tougher approach than the Obama-era Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).
“Senator Jack Reed, a Dumocrat from R.I., lied when stating the Deal we just made is not as good as the Obama disaster known as the JCPOA,” Trump wrote. “Reed is either an outright fraud, or incompetent.”
Trump argued that the Obama agreement paved the way for Iran to obtain a nuclear weapon, while his administration’s deal would permanently block Tehran’s nuclear ambitions.
“The Obuma Deal was a road to a Nuclear weapon for Iran, cash and all, one of the worst and dumbest Deals ever made by the U.S.,” Trump said. “Our Deal is a WALL against Iran ever having a Nuclear weapon, the complete opposite of Obuma.”
The president concluded his post by jokingly calling for Reed’s impeachment.
Trump’s remarks came after Reed, the ranking Democrat on the Senate Armed Services Committee, dismissed the administration’s negotiations during an appearance on Fox News.
