A U.K. newspaper has published more leaked memos revealing a British ambassador’s blunt assessments of the Trump administration, including one in which the envoy to Washington claimed President Donald Trump pulled out of the Iran nuclear deal to spite predecessor Barack Obama.
In the May 2018 cable published by the Mail on Sunday, U.K. Ambassador Kim Darroch called Trump’s decision to abandon the international accord “an act of diplomatic vandalism, seemingly for ideological and personality reasons” because the pact “was Obama’s deal.”
Darroch wrote the memo after then-Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson visited Washington in a failed attempt to persuade the United States not to abandon the 2015 nuclear agreement.
He alleged the White House had no strategy for what would come after its withdrawal and “no sort of plan for reaching out to partners and allies.”
The newspaper published new details from confidential diplomatic cables despite a police warning that making the documents public might be a crime. …

Trump campaigned on exiting the Iran deal, long before he knew he would be POTUS. Was this missed by the author?
I wouldn’t have a problem with this.
He denounced the Obama deal repeatedly when he was campaigning. He said it was stupid. The MSM-Democrats had nothing to say in reply, as I recall.
Squashing the deal was the proper thing to do, spiting Obama was just a by-product.
And that Lawless guy needs a haircut...
“including one in which the envoy to Washington claimed President Donald Trump pulled out of the Iran nuclear deal to spite predecessor Barack Obama. “
That’s pretty much a complete discrediting of Darroch’s judgement right there. Does one need to go on?
Given how Obama did his best to unravel our progress in Iraq and Afghanistan, me neither.
What’s great about President Trump’s destruction of The Media is that you no longer have to waste time even thinking about AP articles, NYT articles, WashPo articles or CNN/MSNBC/CBS/ABC/FOX video bloviations. :-)
Now that’s a face to stop me assuming gender.
That’s one ugly dude.
Never mind stopping every clock in the house and down the block.
Trump campaigned on this egregious Obama failure and delivered.
How about a moratorium on UK’s benighted ambassadors?
She's a lying Media Resistance Front Hole, who cr@ps lies about the President out of her mouth all day long.
So how does the ambassador know this? Did Trump say to him “I know this is a good deal but I’m going to get out of it just to piss off Obama”?
Opinion reported as fact.
“Trump campaigned on exiting the Iran deal, long before he knew he would be POTUS. Was this missed by the author?”
Not only that his plan was clear even before he got us out of the agreement. Sanctions. His goal was, is and always has been prevent Iran from getting nuclear weapons.
In language the author would understand:
Woof! Woof! rrrrrrrrrrwoof!
Well you can see why she's such a bitter, hateful shrew, so there's that.
Notwithstanding Lawless’ irritability, she’s more the messenger citing reckless diplomacy.
Along with half her brain, apparently. The Elite scum in high places who spit on us have no clue how the world sees them. Anyone who thinks the Iran deal was a good one needs a shrink.
