Why Nobody Wants To Do A Deal With Trump

from Mallen Baker: Faultlines · host Mallen Baker

One of the biggest barriers preventing serious work on an Iran negotiated settlement is the fact that the Iranians have so little trust when it comes to President Donald Trump, and the Americans generally under his rule. He has, after all, while proclaiming 'the art of the deal' shown that he will refuse to honour former deals - even ones that he signed. He will change them after the event whenever someone annoys him. And he will lie about the progress of deal making while it's in negotiation, with a daily drama based on blatant lies. Iran is the first time this trust deficit has emerged as a major factor - but it is infecting how the US is seen across the world. So there is a lot more to come. Let's discuss.
