Trump's Remarks on the Killing of Qasem Soleimani

REMARKS

Remarks by President Trump on the Killing of Qasem Soleimani
NATIONAL SECURITY & DEFENSE

Issued on: January 3, 2020

Mar-a-Lago
Palm Beach, Florida

3:13 P.M. EST

THE PRESIDENT: Hello, everybody. Well, thank you very much. And good afternoon.

{snip}

Soleimani has been perpetrating acts of terror to destabilize the Middle East for the last 20 years. What the United States did yesterday should have been done long ago. A lot of lives would have been saved.

We took action last night to stop a war. We did not take action to start a war.

Under my leadership, we have destroyed the ISIS territorial caliphate, and recently, American Special Operations Forces killed the terrorist leader known as al-Baghdadi. The world is a safer place without these monsters.

America will always pursue the interests of good people, great people, great souls, while seeking peace, harmony, and friendship with all of the nations of the world.
