WASHINGTON, April ⁠20 (Reuters) - President Donald ⁠Trump said on Monday ‌he believed a nuclear deal the U.S. is negotiating ​with Iran will ⁠be better ⁠than the international agreement agreed ⁠to ‌in 2015 to curb ⁠Tehran's nuclear program.

"The DEAL that ​we ‌are making with Iran ⁠will be ​FAR BETTER than the JCPOA, commonly referred ⁠to as “The Iran ​Nuclear Deal,” Trump wrote in a social media ⁠post after criticism from Democrats and some nuclear experts that he ​is rushing ⁠negotiations on a highly ​complex topic.
