Sen. Chuck Schumer says Iran 'took Trump to the cleaners'

Published | Video Starts at 00:27

The US is worse off because of Trump's incompetence, his ego, his inability to listen to facts. Iran took Trump to the cleaners with his so called understanding. Are my colleagues on the other side of the aisle prepared to send Iran $300 billion when economic needs are so severe here at home? But Trump? That's what Trump wants them to do now. Back in 2015, Trump said that America's deal with Iran will go down as one of the most incompetent ever made. (00:27–00:38)

Implies that there is a proposal or expectation to send $300 billion to Iran, questioning its prudence given domestic economic issues.
