Trump Says Countries Protected by US During Middle East War Must Repay Washington
U.S. President Donald Trump has said that countries protected by Washington during the Middle East war must reimburse the United States for all expenses incurred during the conflict.
“The countries we protected will pay us back for all the costs we incurred during the war. We will get all our money back because, without us, they would not exist. Without us, Israel would not exist,” Trump said.
His remarks signal a demand for financial compensation from countries that benefited from American military protection during the conflict.
