Trump highlights sharp contrast with Biden on Middle East policy, blames Biden for Iran’s enrichment
Former President Donald Trump Slams Biden’s Foreign Policy, Blames Him for Iran’s Wealth
In a captivating interview with Just the News, former President Donald Trump passionately discussed his foreign policy differences with President Joe Biden. Trump expressed his concerns about the Middle East’s increasing instability and Iran’s association with terrorist groups like Hezbollah and Hamas.
Trump emphasized his own foreign policy achievements, criticizing Biden for creating chaos in the region and putting the United States in an unfavorable position. He firmly stated, “Iran was allowed to get rich because Joe Biden allowed them to. So he could say whatever he wants. But he’s the reason for this. He’s an incompetent president. He’s a compromised president, totally compromised. But he allowed them to get rich.”
Trump further warned about the dangers of Iran possessing nuclear weapons, stating, “But worse than being rich, because of the money, because of what they have, they will have within a short period of time nuclear weapons. And that is never something that can be allowed to happen.”
During Trump’s presidency, the United States withdrew from the Iran Nuclear Deal, which had granted Iran access to over $100 billion in previously frozen oil revenues due to U.S. sanctions. Trump aimed to limit Iran’s missile program and urge the Tehran regime to sever its ties to terrorism. However, Iran refused to negotiate. After Biden’s election victory, his administration began working on a new Iran Nuclear Deal.
Iran’s support for terrorist groups like Hamas and the Houthis, who are actively engaged in conflicts against Israel, was also highlighted. The U.S. has intercepted numerous drones and missiles launched by these groups. Additionally, Iran allegedly claimed responsibility for Hamas’ attack on Israel, which resulted in the brutal murder of at least 1,200 people.
Trump emphasized his efforts to financially pressure Iran, stating, “Iran was broke. They didn’t have any money to get around. I put sanctions on. I put everything on, and told countries, China, many countries, India, France, ‘don’t buy oil … you buy any oil, we’re not going to do business with you. And we’re going to put tariffs on all the products that do get through, We’re not going to do business.'”

Trump concluded by asserting that if Iran had remained financially constrained, the current situation would not have unfolded. He believed that the consequences would have been significantly different.
According to Trump, how did European countries, particularly Germany and France, fail to support his efforts to counter Iran’s influence in the region, and what does he believe their priorities were
G wealth and funding terrorist organizations. He argued that by lifting economic sanctions on Iran, as Biden did, the country was given the resources to support its nefarious activities. Trump claimed that under his administration, Iran was under significant pressure and that they were curtailed in their ability to fund terrorism.
The former president also criticized Biden’s approach to the Iran nuclear deal, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). He accused Biden of being weak and ineffective in negotiating with Iran, allowing them to continue their nuclear program unchecked. Trump asserted that his administration’s withdrawal from the JCPOA was a necessary decision to protect American interests and prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.
Trump expressed his disappointment in the lack of support from European countries, particularly Germany and France, for his efforts to counter Iran’s influence in the region. He claimed that they were more interested in maintaining economic relationships with Iran than in addressing the threat it posed. Trump called for a stronger stance against Iran and urged European allies to prioritize the safety and security of their own nations.
In addition to his critique of Biden’s foreign policy, Trump raised concerns about rising antisemitism around the world. He accused the Biden administration of turning a blind eye to the issue and failing to address it adequately. Trump reiterated his support for Israel and emphasized the need to combat antisemitism in all its forms.
Reflecting on his own achievements in the Middle East, such as the Abraham Accords, which aimed to foster peace and normalization between Israel and Arab countries, Trump criticized Biden for reversing his policies. He claimed that Biden’s approach was leading to a deterioration of relationships with Middle Eastern countries and undermining the progress made during his presidency.
Former President Trump’s interview shed light on his perspective on Biden’s foreign policy decisions, particularly concerning Iran. He accused Biden of allowing Iran to become wealthier and fund terrorism, weakening America’s position in the Middle East. Trump’s criticisms reflect his commitment to a strong and assertive approach to dealing with Iran and his concern for the safety and security of both the United States and its allies.
Ultimately, this interview serves as a reminder of the ongoing debate and differences between the previous and current administrations regarding foreign policy, particularly in the Middle East. It also highlights the challenges facing the Biden administration in addressing the complex issues and relationships involved in the region. As the Biden administration continues to navigate these challenges, it remains to be seen how they will respond to the concerns raised by former President Trump and work towards achieving their own foreign policy objectives.
