Former President Donald Trump called the drone attack that killed three American troops and injured many others “another horrific and tragic consequence of Joe Biden’s weakness and surrender.”
The attack “marks a horrible day for America,” Trump said in a statement posted on Truth Social. “My most profound sympathies go to the Families of the Brave Servicemembers we have lost. I ask all Americans to join me in praying for those who have been wounded.”
Trump pointed out in his statement that three years ago “Iran was weak, broke, and totally under control” because of his maximum pressure policy.
“The Iranian Regime could barely scrape two dollars together to fund their terrorist proxies,” Trump said. “Then Joe Biden came in and gave Iran billions of dollars, which the Regime has used to spread bloodshed and carnage throughout the Middle East.”
Trump claimed that the attack “would NEVER have happened if I was president, not even a chance, just like the Iranian-backed Hamas attack on Israel would never have happened, the War in Ukraine would never have happened.”
“This terrible day is yet more proof that we need an immediate return to PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH, so that there will be no more chaos, no more destruction, and no more loss of precious American lives. Our Country cannot survive with Joe Biden as Commander in Chief,” the former president concluded.
