Former U.S. President Donald Trump stated in an interview with Newsmax that he does not trust anyone in politics, including Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, despite having had a "very good relationship" with him.
When asked about potential involvement in Netanyahu's upcoming election campaign, Trump indicated that some Israelis would like him to participate but did not commit to it, noting that he was told he would win 99% of the vote if he ran for prime minister in Israel.
Regarding Iran, Trump addressed reports of new U.S. military strike plans, including the potential use of the "mother of all bombs." He clarified that this weapon is not nuclear but "very big," comparing it to a "small nuclear bomb." Trump asserted that the U.S. would not use nuclear weapons in Iran, emphasizing America's status as the world's leading nuclear power. He also mentioned ongoing discussions about nuclear disarmament with China, which he believes is significantly behind in nuclear capabilities.
Trump further commented on Iran's nuclear program, stating that its program was "buried" and that the U.S. aims to prevent Iran from ever obtaining nuclear weapons. He expressed skepticism about leaving Iran if he were not president, suggesting that Iran might resume its nuclear pursuits. He also indicated that he does not foresee deploying U.S. ground troops in Iran.
In relation to the war in Ukraine, Trump voiced his lack of admiration for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, describing him as difficult to deal with and unwilling to reach a settlement. Trump criticized Ukraine's renewed attacks on Russian oil infrastructure, arguing it raises global oil prices. He attributed the difficulty in reaching a settlement partly to personal animosity between Zelensky and Russian President Putin, suggesting that new elections in Ukraine might be necessary as citizens are reportedly unhappy with missile strikes on residential buildings.
