NEW DELHI: Former US President Donald Trump had asserted that Israel would not have been attacked if he were still in power and promised to swiftly resolve the situation if re-elected in the presidential polls scheduled later this year.
Trump’s remarks came after his victory in the Iowa caucuses, solidifying his position as the front-runner for the 2024 Republican nomination to potentially challenge incumbent Joe Biden in a rematch.
During a speech following his win, Trump referred to President Joe Biden as the “worst president that we’ve had in the history of the country.”
He emphasized that if he were still in office, the situation in both Russia and Israel would have been prevented.
Trump also vowed to address these issues promptly if he secures reelection in November.
“The Ukraine situation is so horrible, the Israeli situation is so horrible, what’s happened. We’re going to get them solved; we are going to get them solved very fast,” Trump stated, as reported by The Times of Israel.
Trump’s victory in his first election since leaving office in 2020 has put to rest any doubts about his influence within the GOP and the strength of his right-wing message. A GOP nominee must secure at least 1,215 out of 2,429 delegates awarded.
The focus now shifts to the upcoming Republican primary in New Hampshire on January 23, which will play a crucial role in shaping the rest of the election cycle.
According to The Hill, several strategists believe that wins in both Iowa and New Hampshire could make it almost “impossible” for any other GOP candidate to catch up before the general election.
In response to Trump’s victory, President Joe Biden referred to him as the “front-runner” on the other side and framed the 2024 contest as a battle between “you and me” versus the “extreme MAGA Republicans.” Biden expressed his belief that this election was always going to be a contest between him and Trump’s staunchest supporters.
Meanwhile, Indian-American entrepreneur and GOP leader Vivek Ramaswamy withdrew from the White House race after a disappointing performance in the Iowa caucuses.
Ramaswamy, known for his outspoken debate performances, ended his presidential bid and threw his support behind Donald Trump, whom he previously hailed as the “best president of the 21st century.”
However, Trump recently criticized Ramaswamy, labeling his campaign “deceitful” and urging his supporters not to waste their votes on him.
Despite this, Ramaswamy maintained his admiration for Trump, refusing to criticize the former president and reiterating his belief that Trump is indeed the “greatest President” of the 21st century.
