Politico reports that President Donald Trump is trying to reach a new deal with Iran. He has chosen Rand Paul to help broker a back channel deal. Paul suggested being the conduit between the US and Iran over a round of golf this past weekend. Trump gave Paul his blessing for the sensitive diplomatic mission. Paul proposed sitting down with Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif to extend a fresh olive branch on the president’s behalf. The aim is to reduce tensions between the two countries.
