Trump Ramps Up Threats Against Iran in Speech in Youngstown, Ohio
-----------------------------------------------------------------

President Trump intensified his threats against Iran during a speech in
Youngstown, Ohio, Tuesday.

President Donald Trump: "The Iran deal, which may be the single worst
deal I've ever seen drawn by anybody, if that deal doesn't conform to
what it's supposed to conform to, there's going to be big, big problems
for them. That, I can tell you. You're going to see that."

These threats come despite the fact that the Trump administration
begrudgingly certified that Iran has complied with its obligations under
the Obama-brokered nuclear agreement last week. The State Department has
also announced new sanctions against Iran over alleged support for
terrorism and Iran's ballistic missile program. During Trump's same
speech Tuesday in Youngstown, Ohio, he also repeated his frequent
attacks on the news media and claimed he can be more presidential than
any other U.S. president, except Abraham Lincoln.

President Donald Trump: "And I said, with the exception of the late,
great Abraham Lincoln, I can be more presidential than any president
that's ever held this office. That, I can tell you."
