Steve Witkoff, President Trump’s top adviser, blasted critics who push for endless foreign wars during an exclusive White House interview. The longtime Trump ally slammed “neocon” war hawks for preferring military action over diplomacy, arguing they care more about conflict than protecting American interests.
Witkoff emphasized Trump’s “peace through strength” approach, saying the president uses America’s power to force enemies to negotiate rather than rushing into combat. He accused Washington warmongers of undermining diplomacy because they profit from chaos and bloodshed. The adviser warned that these critics would rather see American troops die than admit Trump’s deals work.
On Iran, Witkoff revealed progress in nuclear talks, stating Tehran now claims it doesn’t want atomic weapons. He stressed the administration’s goal is getting Iran to voluntarily abandon its enrichment program through tough negotiations. The envoy warned Iran against stalling, saying Trump won’t hesitate to unleash devastating consequences if they play games.
Witkoff mocked DC insiders who dismissed Trump’s deal-making before he took office, noting they’ve been proven wrong time after time. He said global bullies like Iran only respect strength, and Trump’s relentless pressure forces them to the table. The adviser vowed no foreign regime will manipulate American leaders under this administration.
The Trump loyalist highlighted his decades-long friendship with the president, built during their New York business careers. He contrasted Trump’s America-first pragmatism with career politicians who start wars to please defense contractors. Witkoff said real leadership means avoiding unnecessary conflicts that drain American lives and treasure.
Responding to accusations of being soft on enemies, Witkoff fired back that Trump has been tougher on Iran than any previous president. He noted Biden’s weakness invited aggression, while Trump’s maximum pressure campaign brought Tehran begging for talks. True strength, he argued, means exhausting every peaceful option before sending troops to die.
Witkoff praised Trump’s courage to reject the DC war machine, even as fake news outlets smear his diplomacy. He said the American people elected Trump to end forever wars, not please Beltway elites getting rich off conflict. The adviser vowed Trump will keep putting hardworking citizens above bloodthirsty globalists.
Closing with a message to Middle East adversaries, Witkoff warned they face annihilation if they test Trump’s resolve. He said America’s enemies finally understand they can’t bully or bluff this president. Through strength and savvy deal-making, Trump is delivering peace while the failed Washington establishment fumes.
