Peace Deal In Africa – Aid To Gaza

As President Trump answered questions to reporters during at a recent U.S. Brokered African Peace Deal signing in the Oval Office, he stated, "In a few short months, we've now achieved peace between India and Pakistan, Israel and Iran and the DRC and Rwanda and, a couple of others also, Serbia [and Kosovo].”

President Trump continued, "We were not a country that was respected. Just a year ago we had a president that was incompetent. We had bad people circulating around this desk, this beautiful Resolute Desk," said Trump. "They had, I guess, evil intentions. They were, you couldn't be that stupid, I mean, they had evil intentions, but the world respects our Country again."

He went on to bring to mention America’s successes in recent weeks, including his NATO trip where he was able to obtain U.S. Allies commitment to increase their Defense spending to over $1 Trillion.

President Trump told reporters, "We had the war, as you know, we call it the ‘12 Day War,’ it was exactly a 12-day war. And we ended up with no nuclear weapons. That's what we wanted. And they were, they were just absolutely blown to pieces those three sites and there's no nuclear weapons. And hopefully there can be a lot of healing. And healing is starting,"

In further reference to the Middle East, the President called the situation in Gaza "terrible" but said there could soon be a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.

"I think it’s close. I just spoke with some of the people involved. We think within the next week we're going to get a ceasefire."

President Trump continued addressing the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza, saying, "We're supplying, as you know, a lot of money and a lot of food to that area because we have to, I mean, you have to. In theory, we’re not involved in it, but we're involved because people are dying." The President called on other countries to assist in sending aid to Gaza saying, "We're working on Gaza, trying to get it taken care of and again, you know, a lot of food has been sent there. And other countries throughout the world should be helping also.”

President Trump’s policy of Peace Through Strength has also improved relations with countries such as Russia, North Korea, China and Iran.
