A Democratic representative and Marine veteran is calling out former President Donald Trump for remarks made in 2016 when he suggested Israel should foot more of its own defense spending or reimburse the United States for some of its contributions, as he had suggested for several other countries. The lawmaker, a close ally and supporter of President Joe Biden, slammed Trump on Wednesday over the past statements amid the fatal terrorist attacks by Hamas and the war in Israel.
Recalling the comment on Wednesday, Auchincloss said,"Donald Trump campaigned on forcing Israel to pay the United States back for its security assistance." "During his first months as president, Trump put an Israeli intelligence official in harm's way by sharing classified Israeli intel with Russia," Auchincloss said.
During his tenure as president, Trump was lauded for his unilateral move of the U.S. Embassy in Israel to its capital of Jerusalem. The action was condemned by countries across the globe, and resolutions were introduced among the United Nations body to ask nations to refrain from placing embassies in Israel's capital. Additionally, Trump ordered the drone strike killing of top Iranian commander Qassem Soleimani in 2020, which earned him support.
"CROOKED JOE BIDEN MUST TAKE BACK AND FREEZE THE 6 BILLION DOLLARS RIGHT NOW, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE. HOW COULD ANYONE BE SO INCOMPETENT AND STUPID? BIDEN CAUSED THIS WAR, AND IT WILL ONLY GET WORSE!!!" Trump wrote on Truth Social on Wednesday, referring to a recent prisoner swap deal made with Iran in which the U.S. agreed to unfreeze $6 billion in funds for the country to pay third-party vendors for humanitarian purchases, which can include food and medicine, among other things.
