Trump’s Iran Deal, Oil Drops Hard, New Epstein Report | PBD #818
What was said
"Without Israel, without the Jewish foundation, there would not be an America. We owe our very existence to what happened in this land."
Ambassador Mike Huckabee publicly contradicted President Trump's statement that Israel would not exist without US support by claiming the reverse: that America's existence depends on Israel. The comments drew criticism for appearing to undermine Trump while Huckabee serves as his ambassador. Trump had angered Israeli officials and Iranian dissidents alike by prioritizing an America First deal that leaves the IRGC in power and tells Israel to let Syria handle Hezbollah.
