During the G7 summit, President Donald Trump publicly accused former President Barack Obama of illicitly incentivizing Iran’s participation in the 2015 nuclear agreement. Trump alleged that Obama administration officials offered “bribes” to Tehran to finalize the deal, though he provided no specific evidence to support the claim. The accusation resurfaced long-standing criticism from Trump regarding the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), which he withdrew the U.S. from in 2018. This statement was made amidst ongoing tensions between the U.S. and Iran, and international efforts to revive the nuclear deal. The claim has not been independently verified and has drawn criticism from some observers who view it as a politically motivated attack. The G7 summit focused on a range of global issues, including the war in Ukraine and global economic stability.
