James Clapper, the former Director of National Intelligence under President Barack Obama laughed off President Donald Trump's claim on Sunday that the Obama administration had repeatedly"begged" for a meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un.
"President Obama wanted to meet and Chairman Kim would not meet him," declared Trump."The Obama administration was begging for a meeting — they were begging for meetings, constantly and Chairman Kim would not meet with him, and for some reason we have a certain chemistry or whatever."Sunday morning, Clapper could barely keep a straight face as the clip of Trump making that claim played.

Clapper was referring to Trump's May 2018 decision to pull out of the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action — a multi-nation agreement in which Iran said it would severely curb its nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief from the U.S. and other signatories, like China, the EU, France, Germany, Russia and the UK. Even though Iran had complied with the JCPOA, the Trump administration backed out of the deal last year and imposed new sanctions against the Middle Eastern nation.
