CNN host Erin Burnett threw President Donald Trump's previous criticisms of former President Barack Obama's Iran deal back in his face on Wednesday, noting that Trump was now using the same talking points that he rebuked Obama for using. Trump has described Obama's Iran deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), as giving away too much money to the Iranian regime and not preventing the regime from obtaining or developing a nuclear weapon. Burnett noted that those criticisms sound like an apt description of the deal Trump just signed with the regime over the weekend. "Now, after all of Trump's criticism of Obama and the way that Trump talked about that money, he's now using the exact same talking point, the exact same one as Trump's agreement with Iran could unfreeze more than $100 billion in frozen assets, double the amount that the Iranians got under Obama. Double!" Burnett said during the opening segment of her show, "Erin Burnett OutFront." Over the weekend, Trump announced that his administration had agreed to a deal that would immediately reopen the Strait of Hormuz while the administration continues negotiations to end the war with Iran. However, that deal has been sharply criticized for providing Iran with billions of dollars up front in exchange for a promise to negotiate over thornier issues, like the country's nuclear program, at a later date. The deal reminded Burnett of Trump criticizing Obama for dropping "pallets of cash" in Iran. "Can we just pause for a second and remember him talking about the pallets of cash and all of those things, and mocking that very same argument? And now here we are. It is stunning," she said.
