Trump faces questions on Iran dealUS President Donald Trump has long taken maximalist negotiating positionsWASHINGTON (UNITED STATES) - Donald Trump claimed "total" victory after a ceasefire with Iran. But critics say the deal is a fresh example of their maxim that the tough-talking US president always "chickens out." "President Trump is proving to be an increasingly unpredictable force and unreliable ally," Peter Loge, director of George Washington University's School of Media, told AFP. "Total and complete victory," the president told AFP in a brief telephone interview after Monday's announcement. Iran blinks," said Fox News host and ally Laura Ingraham on her show after the announcement of the deal.
