TRUMP COMMENTS ON WITHDRAWAL FROM THE MIDDLE EAST: IT’S A DANGEROUS PLACE NOW.
US President Donald Trump confirmed early Thursday that his administration is moving US personnel out of the Middle East because it could be a “dangerous” place amid ongoing tensions with Iran. While attending a performance of the musical “Les Misérables” at the Kennedy Center in Washington, Trump told reporters, commenting on reports that US diplomatic personnel were being moved out of the Middle East, “Well, they’re being moved out because it could be a dangerous place.”
He added, “We’ve given notice to leave and we’ll see what happens.”
He added, “They (Iranians) can’t have a nuclear weapon, very simple. We won’t allow that.” The Pentagon announced on Wednesday that it had authorized the voluntary departure of US military families from several locations within the US Central Command (CENTCOM) area of operations, which includes Iraq and other countries in the Middle East.
(Looks to me like the Iranian nuclear negotiations DID NOT go very well and the middle east is about to explode unless Iran comes back to the table and makes some concessions.)
