Trump swiftly fact-checked after lashing out at reported details of his Iran deal

Political analysts and observers swiftly fact-checked President Donald Trump on Monday after he made a false claim about the recent deal he struck with the Iranian regime that could lead to a future peace agreement. Trump posted on Truth Social that reports of the U.S. paying Iran 300 million Dollars is Fake News, put out by the Dumocrats!!! That statement seemed to conflict with what Trump's vice president, JD Vance, said during an interview with Ed O’Keefe of CBS News on Monday morning that Iran could have access to a 300 billion reconstruction fund, if it meets the obligations of the Memorandum of Understanding that the two countries announced over the weekend. Vance later told CNN's Jake Tapper that the deal contemplates a significant economic package that could transform how Iran participates in the global economy. Trump's claims were swiftly fact-checked online. Because it’s actually 300 billion Dollars. Thank you for your attention to this matter! Scott Robertson, international digital editor at MeidasTouch, posted on X. If it was fake news, why did JD Vance admit it on national TV this morning? progressive news outlet The Tennessee Holler posted on X. JD Vance, the 'architect of the deal,' confirmed it earlier today, Sawyer Hackett, a political strategist, posted on X.
