Former U.S. President Donald Trump has publicly criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu regarding the Iran nuclear deal. In an interview with The New York Times, Trump labeled Netanyahu a “very difficult person.” He asserted that Netanyahu should be grateful to the United States, implying a lack of appreciation for American support. The comments stem from differing views on the 2015 Iran nuclear agreement, which Trump withdrew the U.S. from during his presidency. Trump’s remarks were reported by the Times of Israel. This public rebuke signals continued tension between the two leaders despite their previous close relationship.
