Donald Trump made this statement about ending the war with Iran - “I will not sign a deal if it is not good for Israel.” This statement raises serious questions about President Trump's priorities. As President of the United States, Trump's first responsibility should be to protect American interests, American citizens, and America’s future. Any international agreement should be judged on whether it serves the United States while also supporting peace, stability, and fairness abroad. That is why the comment has been described by some as absurd and alarming. Critics argue that no foreign government should appear to take priority over the American people in U.S. decision-making. The American people should not be put in a position to wonder if Trump cares more about Israel than the country he is leading. There is no question that America's interests and security should guide America’s foreign policy.
