Split how? Between those that have followedTrump since 1979. Or those who thought The Apprentice was a reality show? Trump’s foreign policy should surprise or disappoint none of MAGA. Unless you’re a Tucker fan.

> U.S. would release $20 billion in frozen Iranian funds <

Not so bad if the US is just giving Iran back its own money.

The trick here will be to make sure Iran is giving up ALL of its enriched uranium. If anyone can get that done, Trump can.

It’s a good idea except $20 billion is too much.

On the surface, the idea of buying off all of Iran’s enriched uranium with their own money sounds promising. I think we have to hear alot more about this and other terms before flying off the handle.

You could always ask an adult to read the article to you so you don’t post comments that make you look stupid.

This is not money in our hands. Based on what was frozen in the gulf states this week, I would imagine that would make up the bulk of what would be released.

I don’t think the US is holding man frozen assets after the Obama deal.

So, if this is just money that they “had” last week…and we are releasing it now…I am OK with that.

For F’s sake these are Iranian funds not US taxpayers money. Knock off the Trump hating BS. They will probably get this money back anyway.
