00:00And one of the other things that was quite striking was that when he was asked, you know,
00:03would he rule out sending U.S. soldiers to Gaza to perhaps oversee this process, he said
00:12he wouldn't rule it out.
00:13I mean, do you think he really would start another war?
00:17Because didn't he come to power on the ticket he was going to end wars rather than start
00:23new ones?
00:24You know, Donald Trump, on a number of fronts in his first two weeks back in office, has
00:32paid scant attention to legalities, whether you're talking about, you know, American law
00:39or international law.
00:41And this is another case of this.
00:43I mean, he's he is focused on what he perceives to be his mandate.
00:49And his mandate is, you know, to help the economy recover from inflation of the past
00:56several years and to secure the American border from what he describes as uncontrolled regional
01:06and global migration.
01:08The last thing that that the United States wants or the last thing that his supporters
01:14want is for us to get entangled in another war in the Middle East.
01:20So it really is contrary to what he campaigned on.
