"It shouldn't have been signed", said Trump at a joint press conference with visiting Italian Prime Minister Paolo Gentiloni.
He said the Trump administration was likely to continue with rigorous implementation of the deal while honoring the key provisions of the agreement. "It shouldn't have been negotiated the way it was negotiated".
Iran rejected criticism of the nuclear deal earlier Thursday, a day after Secretary of State Rex Tillerson had warned that the deal would delay, but not prevent Tehran from acquiring a nuclear weapon.
"We took note of information from Washington that an additional analysis of agreements with Iran on its nuclear program is beginning there", he said.

Tillerson said one of the mistakes in the way the agreement was put together was that it ignored all the other serious threats Iran posed outside of its nuclear programme.
He criticized USA financial regulators that create obstacles for business projects as the country's business and state structures "have some suspicions that these projects and this work may be related to the Iran nuclear program".
Cubs keep rolling, crush Pirates, 14-3
Melky Cabrera, Todd Frazier and Tyler Saladino drove in two runs each for the White Sox, who out-hit the Royals 15-2. Several balls were struck well by the Pirates, including three long fly outs in the ninth, but nothing came of them.
"I think the United States has, right now, enough roles", he said. As Trump administration has begun to speaking again, some of the cooler heads have begun to realize it, including Secretary of Defence James Mattis and (NSA) General McMaster...
The president had previously spoken about dismantling or withdrawing from both agreements as part of his vision, explained in his inaugural address, that "every decision on trade, on taxes, on immigration, on foreign affairs will be made to benefit American workers and American families".
He nevertheless added that the Trump administration had "no intention of passing the buck to a future administration on Iran". His administration did, however, try to bar Iranians from visiting or immigrating to the US through a visa ban targeting six majority-Muslim countries.
The diplomat said the intensified language is also a shot across the bow by the U.S. to Iran to warn: "Just because North Korea is misbehaving, it doesn't mean we aren't still watching you". "The U.S has signed agreements with three rogue regimes..." WHITE-COLLAR CRIME A senior Justice Department official says the Trump administration will be persistent in prosecuting white-collar crimes despite giving a higher profile to tackling violent crime. Moreover, Iran claims that their nuclear program is "entirely peaceful" and has plans to continue developing missiles.
Still, since taking office, Trump has stopped promising he'll gut the deal.
Both Iran and Hezbollah are now fighting in support of Syrian President Bashar al Assad's forces.
The European Union's foreign policy chief, Frederica Mogherini, said last month after meetings with senior Trump administration officials she was reassured in the talks that the U.S. was committed to fully implementing the deal.
