Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Friday at the former president’s Mar-a-Lago resort home in Florida, one day after the Israeli leader met with President Biden and Vice President Kamala separately at the White House.
Trump allowed reporters into the meeting briefly. Asked what a working relationship with Israel would look like in a second Trump administration, Trump suggested the current U.S. leadership could lead to a “third world war.”
“We’ll see how it goes,” Trump said. “If we win, it will be very simple. It’s all going to work out and very quickly. If we don’t we’re all going to end up with major wars in the Middle East and maybe a third world war. You are closer to a third world war right now than at any time during the second world war. You’ve never been so close because you have incompetent people running our country.”
Trump also said terminating the Iran nuclear deal was maybe the “best thing” he did for Israel, and touted his decision to move the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem.
