assessment. he s presenting an alternate version of international relations. almost an alternate reality about iranian history and this deal and how bad it is and exaggerating, saying it doesn t last long. it actually lasts his own advisers are saying that they re complying. yes. the secretary of state and the secretary of defense, every other party in the deal says they re complying, but he s doing this over and over again on multiple issues, domestic and foreign policy. how do you see robin, same question for you. well, the president made a statement today that iran was not in compliance with the spirit of the accord. this is a 159-page document. he s referring to one sentence in the preface which says that the deal that those who are party to the deal hope that this will lead to greater regional and international cooperation. and it s the kind of language that often goes into a deal, and it is not referenced any place else. do you think that s all he
i sure do. and it doesn t work very well. when the premium goes up, there s a subsidy increase. 90% of the premium increases have been effectively not what the president did today was say i m going to take away the subsidies. so when your premiums go up, you pay for it, not anyone else. that s what s destructive. if you are so concerned about premium increases, why would the president take action to increase payments by 20%? and don t listen to me. listen to the insurance companies, the doctors, every staple in the insurance got to go. the insurance companies, you re right president did was wrong. the insurance companies love obamacare. cancer patients i ve got to go, guys. i talk to people around the country. they said their premiums are going up 20%, 30%. i ve got to go. thank you. always a pleasure. you guys don t need me. i m going to go over a glass of wine or something. thank you very much. when we come back, the country is focused on the iran deal,
at the negotiating table. fred pleitgen, thank you so much. i want to bring in now david road, online news director at the new yorker and robin wright who writes for the new yorker as well. thank you both for joining us. so robin, this is perplexing because our european partners, top officials in the trump administration say iran is complying. trump says they are not. he s the only one that s saying they are not. he says they re not living up to the spirit of the deal. the president tweeted this and this is just tonight. many people talking with much agreement on my iran speech today. participants in the deal are making lots of money on trade with iran. so, i mean, what s the discrepancy here? what s your reaction to the president s tweet and his discrepancy? well, the reaction has been clear across the world and that is from not just our european allies who have long spoken with a single voice with the united states, for the first time we
blasting president trump saying look, the u.s. can t leave this deal. he accused president trump of lies and said that basically everything president trump said was wrong. now, rouhani also said that iran is going to stay in the nuclear agreement unless the u.s. walks out. now, one of the most interesting things that he said, though, is he defended iran s revolutionary guard, which is a hard line organization and he s a moderate. so if president trump wanted to divide the moderates and the hardliners here in this country it seems as though actually the opposite is happening, they re actually banding together and both of them now saying they don t believe they can trust the united states. but, you know, don, one of the most interesting things that we do when we come here is obviously we try to speak to regular iranian folks on the street here. we spoke to both hard liners and moderates who are at odds with each other a lot of the time. and the pod rats who want better relations with the
here here for the president to decertify, but he s losing the language of that congressional oversight to find a way out. again, it s a decision looking for a rational. he s found that rational, but it certainly doesn t match the outlines of the agreement as negotiated by the u.s. and its partners. the rational rhimes with obama. thank you all. thank you. i appreciate it. when we come back, what s the reaction around the world to president trump s threat to kill the iran deal? will anybody trust us at the negotiating table? you nervous?
