Why Trump scrubbed the Iran deal

Today the London newspaper, The Mail, reported that the British Ambassador to the U.S. wrote to Boris Johnson, who may be the next Prime Minister, that President Trump appeared to be abandoning the nuclear deal for "personality reasons" (i.e, 'to spite Obama') because the pact had been agreed to by Obama.

This goes along with a Trump tweet from June this year,whereby he objected to Obama having given Iran £1.8bn (£1.4bn) as part of the deal. Commentators later pointed out this was related to the settlement of an unfulfilled military order from the 1970s.
