Trump's Unconventional Take on Iran Attacks: A Call for Peace Through Trade?

Former President Donald Trump weighed in on the recent attacks on Iran, asserting that the United States had no involvement. In a series of tweets, Trump stated, "The U.S. had nothing to do with the attacks on Iran, tonight." He further emphasized the need for a deal between Iran and Israel, adding, "Iran and Israel should make a deal...in that case, by using TRADE with the United States to bring reason, cohesion, and sanity into the talks." Trump's comments come amid heightened tensions in the Middle East. His call for a negotiated settlement contrasts with some current approaches to the conflict. This statement marks yet another instance of Trump's public engagement in international affairs, even after leaving office. The impact of his words on US foreign policy and the ongoing situation in Iran remains to be seen.
