No they weren’t. Trump cancelled the previous treaty and then wanted a new agreement more favorable to the US than JCPOA.
replyI don’t like the mullah’s in Iran anymore than the next person but no reasonable and sane person would take that to mean “negotiating in good faith.”

You’re conflating good faith and acceding to the US’s new demands based on past behavior.
