Prime Minister Netanyahu delivered a powerful message about American leadership during his recent White House visit. The Israeli leader made it crystal clear that President Trump shows the kind of strength against terrorism that other Western leaders simply cannot match. Netanyahu declared that “America is back” under our 47th president, and every patriotic American should feel proud of that recognition.
This praise comes at a perfect time as Trump rebuilds America’s position on the world stage. Unlike the weak policies of previous administrations, Trump has restored the maximum pressure campaign against Iran that actually works. Our enemies respect strength, and they know Trump means business when he talks about protecting America and our allies.
Netanyahu has good reason to praise Trump’s leadership on terror. The two leaders have worked together to take decisive military action against Iran’s nuclear program. While other Western nations talk and negotiate endlessly, Trump and Netanyahu actually get results through strength and determination.
The contrast with European leaders could not be more obvious. Those politicians worry more about being popular at cocktail parties than stopping terrorists who want to kill innocent people. Trump puts America first and supports our friends like Israel who fight terrorism every single day.
Netanyahu’s visits to Washington show the world that strong leaders work together. The Israeli Prime Minister has met with Trump multiple times since January, and each meeting produces real progress on important issues. This is what happens when serious people tackle serious problems.
Trump’s approach to Iran proves that peace comes through strength, not weakness. The maximum pressure sanctions are choking off money that Iran uses to fund terrorist groups across the Middle East. Every dollar we keep out of Iranian hands saves American and Israeli lives.
Other Western leaders should take notes from Trump’s playbook on fighting terrorism. Instead of endless diplomatic chatter, Trump takes action that actually protects people. That is exactly the kind of leadership America needs and the world respects.
Netanyahu’s praise for Trump should make every American proud of our president. When our closest ally in the Middle East says America is back, that means we are winning again. Under Trump’s leadership, terrorists know they will face consequences, and our friends know America stands with them.
