And the message he delivered was quite blunt in the face of Donald Trump's clear skepticism of the Iran nuclear deal that his predecessor Barack Obama signed. Hassan Rouhani had simply to say that the actions of the U.S. regarding the implementation of the deal showed that the U.S. can't be trust. And a clear dig at the new occupant at the White House, Donald Trump, he says, "We do not wish to engage with those who are newcomers to the political arena, but wish to tell the veteran politicians and diplomats that they can maintain and continue working in the framework of the joint plan." Clearly a snub there to Donald Trump, who he wants to pain as a neophyte on the political stage, diplomatically that despite his skepticism of the deal there are others who wish it to continue.
