Attack on US soldiers in Jordan: In a stark reaction to the drone attack on a United States military installation in Jordan, former President Donald J Trump released a statement, expressing deep condolences for the loss of three American servicemembers and condemning President Joe Biden's leadership. Trump attributed the attack to what he called Biden's weakness and surrender, emphasizing the need for a return to a "Peace Through Strength" approach.
Trump labelled the drone attack as a "horrible day for America." He extended heartfelt sympathies to the families of the fallen servicemembers and called on all Americans to join him in prayer for the wounded. Trump directly connected the incident to what he perceives as the consequences of Biden's policies, pointing to the increased influence of Iran in the Middle East.
In the statement, Trump criticized Biden's approach towards Iran, contrasting the situation three years ago when, according to him, Iran was weak and under control due to Trump's "Maximum Pressure" policy. He claimed that Biden's actions, including providing billions of dollars to Iran, have empowered the Iranian regime and led to the tragedy in Jordan. Trump asserted that such incidents, including attacks by Iranian-backed groups, would not have occurred during his presidency.
Trump emphasized the need for an immediate return to a "Peace Through Strength" strategy, arguing that it is crucial to prevent further chaos, destruction, and loss of American lives. He drew a connection between his leadership style and global stability, suggesting that under his presidency, events such as the drone attack in Jordan, the Hamas attack on Israel, and the conflict in Ukraine would not have transpired.
President Joe Biden acknowledged the attack in a statement on X, expressing grief for the fallen soldiers and promising accountability for those responsible.
