"I will bring the world glorious new peace," said Donald Trump during a speech at a rally on the tarmac at Freeland Airport in Michigan, USA. The Republican Party presidential candidate also promised to build a "great Iron Dome" over the United States, similar to the one in Israel.
- "Biden's weakness has led the planet to the edge of nuclear war," said Donald Trump during a Wednesday speech. -I will bring the world glorious new peace, he emphasized.
"I am the only one that can say this; I know them all and they respect me; they don't respect our country anymore; it's a country that's in decline, but they respect me and we're going to have it back very soon — but I'll say this: I will prevent World War III. I'm the only one that's going to do it," he added.
Trump noted that "we will have peace through strength." - "In my next term, we will build a great Iron Dome very much as Israel has, but even better," he assured.
"I'm saying, 'Why don't we have that? We should have that too. We have a lot of hostile people out there. We have a lot of bad actors out there. We're going to build the greatest dome of them all," he said.
He assured that it would be produced in the USA, translating into numerous job positions for Americans. However, he did not reveal specific details - when such a dome might be built or how it would function. "Iron Dome" protects Israel, but it is a much smaller country - its area is over 20,000 square kilometres, while the area of the USA is over 9.8 million square kilometres.
Donlad Trump: "You saw how effective that was with Israel"
Talking about the "Iron Dome," Trump stated that "Israel was 99 percent effective last month in stopping retaliatory missile attacks from Iran and 100 percent effective in protecting Israel from total destruction and death".
"You saw how effective that was with Israel last week with 300 rockets shot down, every one of them knocked out, every one of them knocked down," repeated Trump and once again assured that the USA - during his term - will build a great Iron Dome. "We're going to have a shield around our country and it's made here," he added.
