He said dismantling Iran\u2019s nuclear program has long been a priority for both him and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, but negotiations have repeatedly stalled.Trump described a deal as difficult for Iran as past U.S. leadership, including Barack Obama, allegedly allowed Iran to \u201cget away with murder,\u201d and iran has become accustomed to dealing with weaker U.S. pressure.
