First 90 seconds

  1. Sean Rameswaram· Host0:00

    The newly 80-year-old president of the United States is in France for the G7 Summit. [upbeat music] Reporters keep asking about the peace deal he says he'll be signing with Iran this Friday, mostly because no one knows the deets.

  2. Donald Trump· Soundbite0:14

    They gave them $1.7 billion in cash, green cash, from banks.

  3. Sean Rameswaram· Host0:19

    But the president wants to talk about Barack Obama?

  4. Donald Trump· Soundbite0:22

    They tried to bribe their way out of it. And you know what the Iranians did? They laughed at Obama and they said he's a stupid son of a bitch.

  5. Sean Rameswaram· Host0:31

    Why so salty, sir? Oh, JK Rowling, I know why. President Trump didn't achieve any of his objectives in the war with Iran, a war that's cost Americans maybe $100 billion so far, and Trump might end up giving Iran $300 billion to settle this war. Compare that to Obama's- $1.7 billion and hundreds of millions of dollars. Iran won the war. Coming up on Today Explained from Vox.

  6. Donald Trump· Soundbite0:56
