Pro-Israel US Democratic Senator Cory Booker has said that President Trump’s approach to negotiations has significantly strengthened Tehran’s position, Al Jazeera reports.

In a US media interview, Booker said that the current strategy has completely backfired.

“That’s why this war is wrong. He’s got us in a situation that’s worse than it was before. A more extreme regime, Strait of Hormuz now is a leveraging point for them,” he said.

“This weak nation has put America in stalemate and Donald Trump is being played as fool what he is, for getting us into this in the first.”
