US President Donald Trump has in one interview with Kristen Welker, presenter of the US news channel “NBC”, put central campaign statements into perspective. Contrary to his earlier rhetoric about keeping the US out of foreign wars, he explains: “I have not ruled out any war. Why else would I have built the strongest military in the world?”
Trump defends the US’s ongoing war against Iran with the words: “I don’t like these endless wars. This is not an endless war. We’ve been doing this for three months.” He is vague about the ongoing peace negotiations, but praises the Iranian side as rational and willing to negotiate.

This is how the US President left the interview, which took place in a barn in Wisconsin.
The interview ended abruptly as Welker repeatedly questioned Trump about his unsubstantiated claims about alleged election manipulation in California. Trump then insulted various US television stations as dishonest, tore the microphone from his jacket and said goodbye to his counterpart with the words: “Thank you, dear, I’ve had enough.”
29 billion dollars
During the conversation, Trump left open a specific timetable for the withdrawal of the approximately 50,000 US troops stationed in the Middle East: “It costs us very little to keep them there. I would say it would be foolish to do that because we may still need them.” The costs of the conflict now amount to around $29 billion, in May alone. In addition, rising gasoline prices are increasingly causing dissatisfaction among the population, which is why Trump promises: “As soon as the war is over, everything will go down again.”
In addition to the war, Trump’s controversial compensation fund for supposedly politically persecuted supporters was also discussed in the conversation. Although his own lawyers have declared the project a failure in court, Trump publicly maintains: “If they get approval, that’s great. If they don’t get approval, I would be disappointed.” He is drawing additional criticism with his plan to approve a billion dollars in taxpayer money for a new ballroom in the White House. (val)
