United States and Donald Trump: News in the blog

31. July: Trump fights with powerful, powerful, conservative donors

US President Donald Trump took a confrontational course with major conservative industrialists Charles and David Koch, who have been among the top financiers of his Republican party for years. Trump described the two billionaires on Tuesday in the Twitter short message service as a "total joke" in Republican circles, the influence of their network was "overvalued".

With the fierce attack, Trump responded to the Koch brothers' criticism of his course, particularly his protectionist trade policy. The president described the Koch brothers as "globalists" who oppose "strong borders and powerful trade". It's about "two nice guys with bad ideas".

He never looked for the cook's support, "since I do not need their money (…)," Trump tweeted. The president re-introduced himself as representing the interests of the "American worker" and stressed that he was "the puppet of anyone". He accused the Koch brothers of wanting to prevent their foreign economic activities from being taxed in the United States.

Donald Trump surprisingly engages in meetings with Ruhani

In the conflict that surrounds him. intensifies with Iran on its Armament Course suggested a surprising turnaround to US President Donald Trump. He would be "ready" for a meeting with Iranian leaders at any time, Trump said Monday after meeting with Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte at the White House. He added: "No prerequisites".

Iran reacted with skepticism. Before such a meeting, Trump must withdraw his withdrawal from the existing nuclear agreement and override the new sanctions against Tehran, tweeted Tuesday the adviser of Iranian President Hbadan Ruhani, Hamid Abutalebi. "Back to the nuclear agreement, end hostilities and respect for the Iranian people (…) and then you could set the stage to get out of the current dilemma."

The United States accuses Iran of extending its sphere of influence in neighboring Arab countries such as Yemen and Syria. They canceled the 2015 nuclear agreement that is designed to prevent Tehran from building nuclear weapons. On the other hand, it provides for the reduction of economic sanctions. Although the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has certified that Iran is complying with the agreements, the United States has again imposed sanctions on the country's financial and energy sectors. The first sanctions are expected to come into effect on August 6, others in November.

Trump's statement that he was ready for a meeting without preconditions was a surprise Monday night. "I do not know if they're ready for that," he said curtly. The nuclear agreement was a "waste of paper". But if a significant nuclear deal could be reached with Iran, it would be "good for them, good for us, good for the world".

However, after Trump's appearance, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo relativized his comments and postponed the terms of an Iran-US summit. For example, Tehran must commit to fundamentally altering its behavior towards its own people and ending its "malicious" behavior in the Middle East. In addition, the Islamic Republic must accept the goal of concluding an agreement that actually "prevents" the development of nuclear weapons, Pompeo told CNBC.
