Trump Discusses Trust in Politics, Israel Relations, and Iran Military OptionsPreviousNext

US President Donald Trump stated in a Newsmax interview that he does not trust anyone in politics, including Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, though he described their relationship as "very good" and praised their military cooperation against Iran. Trump ruled out using nuclear weapons against Iran, clarifying that the "Mother of All Bombs" is a large conventional bomb, not nuclear. He also declined to confirm plans to intervene in Israel's upcoming legislative elections, despite Israeli interest in his involvement.
