Trump Says Iran Nuclear Deal Is 'Embarrassment' to U.S.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called on the world to change or cancel a nuclear deal with Iran, just hours after President Donald Trump called the agreement “an embarrassment to the United States.”
Netanyahu, who praised Trump’s speech earlier on Tuesday to the United Nations General Assembly as “courageous," singled out the deal’s so-called “sunset clause” -- which phases out the most significant restrictions on Iran over time -- as the most problematic aspect of the accord. He added that Iran must face severe sanctions for its ballistic missile program and should be prevented from extending its influence in Syria.
