Trump Compares Israel-Iran Conflict to 'Kids in a Schoolyard' at NATO Summit

THE HAGUE, NETHERLANDS – During a recent NATO summit, former U.S. President Donald Trump offered his perspective on the ongoing tensions between Israel and Iran. Speaking to reporters, Trump characterized the conflict with an analogy, stating, "They're not going to be fighting each other. They've had it. They've had a big fight, like two kids in a schoolyard. You know, they fight like hell. You can't stop them. Let them fight for about two, three minutes. Then it's easier to stop them." Trump further elaborated on the need for decisive action, adding, "And then Daddy has to sometimes use strong language. You have to use strong, every once in a while, you have to use a certain word." His remarks drew attention, with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte also present during the exchange. The comments highlight differing views on diplomatic approaches to complex international disputes.
