Susan Rice slams 'flimsy' Trump Iran MOU amid 'stupid war': 'This is a very bad outcome'
Key takeaways
- Rice, who served under former Presidents Clinton and Obama, bashed the MOU earlier this week — calling it a jaw-dropping, horrific surrender document complete with hundreds of billions in reparations.
- The MOU, which was finalized Wednesday, aims to end the months-long conflict in Iran and reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
- Democrats and even some Republicans have expressed frustration with the agreement, particularly a $300 billion reconstruction fund.
Why this matters: political developments that affect policy direction and public trust.
