PALM BEACH, Fla. — Former President Donald Trump tells Breitbart News exclusively that if the 2020 election hadn't turned out the way it did, and if he were still president, he would have never been more likely to see the true state of affairs in the Middle East. He said he believed a path to peace was possible.
Rather, the inauguration of Democratic President Joe Biden after the 2020 election has further destabilized the region, with no new countries joining the historic Abraham Accords since then. During President Trump's term, several Arab countries joined the Abraham Accords, normalizing relations between Arab countries and the Jewish state of Israel. Countries that joined during the Trump administration were the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Bahrain, Morocco, and Sudan. President Trump has said that several other countries are looking to join, possibly including Iran, but with Biden in office and a return to a failed approach to the Middle East, His efforts were dashed and any progress made was undone. During President Biden's term, not a single country joined the Abraham Accords.
“If the election hadn't been rigged, every country, including Iran, probably would have signed the Abraham Accords,” President Trump told Breitbart News in an exclusive interview lasting more than two hours here at Mar-a-Lago. ” he said. . “By then, all countries would have signed on, including Saudi Arabia and probably Iran.”
President Trump has claimed that his approach to Iran (being economically ruthless towards Iran through sanctions and apparently ordering the killing of Qasem Soleimani) intends to bring the Islamic Republic of Iran to the negotiating table. .
“You know, Iran had a disconnect with me. Now they've got $250 billion,” Trump said. “I'm not talking about $6 billion or $10 billion. They have $250 billion now, but they were bankrupt. There was no money in Hamas or Hezbollah.”
President Trump also said that if he were president, the Hamas terrorist organization in the Gaza Strip (largely funded by Iran) would never have been able to carry out the October 7 terrorist attack on Israel. Ta.
“that [the October 7 attack in Israel] It would never have happened,” President Trump said. “If that had happened, we would have taken more decisive action. I don't understand these people.”
As Breitbart News' Joel Pollack reported this week, the Biden administration's secretary of state, Antony Blinken, has made the mistake of saying that peace between Israel and the Palestinians must be a precursor to peace between Israel and other Arab states. It suggested a return to the Middle East foreign policy vision that had been adopted by the United States.
Trump also said in the interview that Biden has “malice” toward political opponents like himself at home, but “no malice” toward America's foreign adversaries. He believes that Biden and his family's receipt of funds from foreign sources, including the Chinese Communist Party, proves that the current president is a “Manchurian candidate” and “compromising.” He said that's why Biden is forgiving America's adversaries. A nation rises.
“This is what we call this guy.” [Biden] He's bad, but he's not bad for all these countries,” Trump said. “I think he's a candidate from Manchuria. These countries are giving him a lot of money, and it's as if he's extorting money from the whole world. His dealings with China are It's so ridiculous that he must have compromised. I can't think of any other reason than that he compromised.”
