Iran's Nuclear Dilemma: Evolving Perspectives

For years, President Trump has mocked the Obama administration for the nuclear agreement that it reached with Iran — a plan he disliked so much that he revoked it.

Now, as he embarks on talks with Iran to reach a nuclear agreement of his own, the question is whether his administration can achieve a better deal.

David E. Sanger, who covers the White House and national security, takes us inside the negotiations.

Guest: David E. Sanger, the White House and National Security Correspondent for The New York Times.

Background reading: 

• President Trump wants a nuclear deal with Iran, but it must be better than President Barack Obama’s.
