DONALD TRUMP and Emmanuel Macron’s love-in at the White House has exposed the looking-glass world of liberal politics.
Macron’s groupies, who abound in the Western press, portray the French president as a saviour of the liberal democratic order and depict his visit as a mission to persuade his US counterpart not to tear it up.
Suggestions that Paris and Washington may cook up a “new” deal on Iran’s sanctions programme were today slammed by Iranian President Hassan Rouhani on the reasonable grounds that two countries should not arrogate themselves the right to renegotiate a deal agreed by seven parties.
Trump threatens war and punitive tariffs to recapture Iranian resources – just as in 1953, when the CIA overthrew Mossadegh and US corporations immediately seized 40% of the oil, says SEVIM DAGDELEN
