On purported Iran deal, Trump and his own team are clearly not on the same page

As this week got underway, and Donald Trump started making a series of claims about a purported agreement with Iran, among the initial problems was the unsettling fact that U.S. officials and Iranian officials issued contradictory statements on key aspects of the framework.

But in the hours that followed, as Monday unfolded, a related and parallel problem emerged: Not only were Trump administration officials contradicting Iran, but they were also contradicting Trump.

Senior U.S. officials told reporters on a background call, for example, that the still-hidden text of the U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding would be made public in the next 24 to 48 hours, in the interest of "full transparency." Shortly after, the American president, speaking to reporters during the G-7 summit in France, was asked when the public could expect to see the MOU.

"I would say sometime after Friday," the Republican replied.
