President Donald Trump’s petty bullying behavior is threatening to torpedo negotiations to end the war with Iran, according to U.S. and Arab officials.
Trump’s long-running habit of holding grudges, mocking his opponents, and insisting on total victory for himself complicates efforts to end the two-month-old war through diplomacy, Politico reports, citing interviews with 10 current and former U.S. and Arab officials.
The officials’ main worry is whether Trump, 79, can tolerate giving Iran’s leaders enough room to save face and claim some degree of victory, even if they agree to U.S. demands that weaken them militarily.
