He said during a discussion with students at a high school in Marsberg in the Sauerland region: "Especially since theIraniansobviously negotiate very skillfully - or do not negotiate very skillfully. An entire nation is being humiliated by the Iranian leadership." During the discussion, theGermany'sChancellor also said: "Because the Iranians are obviously stronger than previously thought, and the Americans clearly lack a truly convincing strategy in the negotiations."

"If Iran had a Nuclear Weapon, the whole World would be held hostage.
"I am doing something with Iran, right now, that other Nations, or Presidents, should have done long ago.
"No wonder Germany is doing so poorly, both Economically, and otherwise! President DONALD J. TRUMP."
