Trump is referring, as he often argues, Obama as President, paid about $ 1.7 million for the release of several Americans imprisoned in Iran, although the Obama administration insisted that the money already owed to Iran as part of the settlement trust Fund, frozen during the Iranian revolution, and that the transfer time was only used to secure the release of Americans.
In the past, he also criticized Obama for exchanging five prisoners from Guantanamo Bay for Sergeant of Bergdala, who stepped aside from his post in Afghanistan and was later captured by the Taliban. According to media reports, these prisoners, who returned to Qatar, last year joined the Taliban.
