Here's another theory:
EU controls Iran and NK. They've been blackmailing us with potential nuclear war if we didn't keep paying. France and Germany get 5% of the $250B x 2 that we pay - $250B for Iran and $250 for NK. Now POTUS says no more blackmail. We'll go to war instead, and now they realize they don't have the stomach or the means.
