German President Steinmeier criticized Trump's actions against Iran as illegal and politically misguided, reflecting on the failed Iran deal and comparing international shifts to Trump's presidency and Russia's actions in Ukraine.
The claim regarding Trump withdrawing from the Iranian nuclear deal is validated by multiple reliable sources confirming this occurred in 2018. Steinmeier's criticisms of US foreign policy are supported by multiple sources indicating his views on the erosion of global democracy under Trump's policies. However, the specific claims about Steinmeier's direct statements comparing specific events lack robust evidence from authoritative sources, classifying them as opinions. As such, some claims cannot be factually verified and remain subjective or anecdotal.
