The White House announced today that strikes against Iran-backed proxies will continue following a missile attack on a U.S. base in Iraq over the weekend, which led to two service members being evaluated for traumatic brain injury. This attack marks the 151st incident targeting U.S. forces since mid-October.
In response to these recent developments, former President Trump commented on the situation, expressing concerns about potential escalation and describing the current U.S. President as incompetent. Trump raised concerns about the possibility of World War III, stating that the current administration's negotiating abilities with powerful leaders like Putin and President Xi of China are inadequate.
Trump also claimed that during his presidency, he had successfully defeated ISIS and ensured the security of Israel and Ukraine, suggesting that these achievements would have deterred aggression from other nations. He attributed these accomplishments to his strong stance on oil prices and sanctions against Iran. Trump argued that his policies left Iran financially weakened, thereby hampering their ability to support terrorist activities.
Furthermore, Trump highlighted a statement by Viktor Orban, the Prime Minister of Hungary, who expressed a desire for Trump's return to the global stage, citing that world leaders were more apprehensive during Trump's tenure. Trump emphasized his tough approach towards countries like China and Russia, noting his termination of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline project.
Regarding the current situation with President Biden, Trump expressed doubt about his capabilities and suggested that Biden might even drop out of office. He emphasized his concerns about the future of the nation, stating that winning the next election is crucial to preserving the country.
It is important to note that these remarks by former President Trump offer his personal opinions and interpretations on the situation, and they do not represent official policy or statements from the current administration. The ongoing strikes against Iran-backed proxies will continue as per the White House's announcement, and the evaluation of the two service members for traumatic brain injury confirms the impact of the recent missile barrage on the U.S. military presence in Iraq.
