Former President Donald Trump expressed his profound sympathies after the killing of three U.S. service members in an attack by Iran-backed militants on Sunday, blaming President Joe Biden for “this terrible day.”
The Pentagon confirmed to Newsweek on Sunday that three U.S. military personnel were killed and 25 more injured by a drone strike in Jordan, a close Middle Eastern ally to the U.S. President Joe Biden blamed the strike on Iran-backed militants, with officials saying the attack had been launched from Syria. The troops were stationed near the Jordan-Syrian border.
“This brazen attack on the United States is yet another horrific and tragic consequence of Joe Biden’s weakness and surrender,” Trump wrote in a series of Truth Social posts about the attack. He went on to tout his tough stance against Iran, saying that this attack “would NEVER have happened if I was President, not even a chance.”
