Daniel Shapiro

It's not surprising that they're skeptical.

A lot of these Republican senators, some of the right-wing think tanks in Washington have been very critical.

of the nuclear deal that President Obama signed in 2015.

There would be a period of negotiations.

It's outlined for 30 to 60 days to determine limits on Iran's enriched uranium stockpile and further enrichment of uranium and the verification of that.

But Iran is very skilled and adept at dragging out those negotiations.

It will probably last much longer than 60 days.

The president's son-in-law and former chief advisor has used relationships developed during the first administration to secure some fruitful business opportunities.

Daniel Shapiro, who was the ambassador to Israel during the Obama administration, says it's fair to question whether those like Kushner should be doing diplomacy with countries they're also doing business with.

Shapiro says there are few lines between politics and business in the region, and that helped Kushner broker an agreement.
