Trump Rejects Claims Iran War Contradicts His 'No New Wars' Campaign Message
President Donald Trump dismissed claims that the war with Iran contradicts his 2024 campaign promise of 'no new wars,' stating he never guaranteed peace and emphasized building a strong military. In a June 7 NBC interview, he described the conflict, which began February 28, as limited and necessary to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. Trump also defended a scrapped $1.8 billion fund for allies and reiterated unsubstantiated claims of election fraud in California, ending the interview abruptly amid questioning.
