Donald Trump Rages at US Paying '6 Billion Dollars for Hostages'
"Donald Trump has joined the list of Republican figures who criticized the Biden administration for releasing $6 billion in frozen Iranian money in exchange for the release of five American detainees.
The deal, which was announced in August, will see a blanket sanctions waiver for international banks to allow the money from past Iranian oil sales be allowed to move from countries such as South Korea and Qatar so the American citizens currently held captive in Iran can be released, with the U.S. releasing five Iranian prisoners as part of the deal.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken signed off on the sanctions waivers last week, but Congress was only made aware of the deal on Monday, according to the Associated Press. The news that five Iranian prisoners would be released as part of the deal was also only just disclosed."
