Versailles II: Trump signs Iran deal in the one place historians wouldn't recommend
President Donald Trump signed a controversial Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in Versailles, France, committing the US to finance Iran's reconstruction for $300 billion. The signing was met with criticism from former Vice President Mike Pence, former National Security Adviser Susan Rice, and other critics who saw it as a surrender document. Former Vice President Mike Pence warned that the agreement resembled appeasement policies, while Mark Levin, a pro-Israel commentator, denounced it as a "national security blunder." The US and Iran opted for electronic signatures ahead of schedule to bring the ceasefire and Strait of Hormuz reopening into effect, with a formal signing ceremony planned in Switzerland.
