Donald Trump: Unite moderate Arab countries to isolate & contain Iran

In May 2017, I joined the president on his first foreign trip, with stops in Saudi Arabia, Israel, & Brussels for a NATO meeting; Rome to visit the Vatican; and Sicily for the G7. The trip was important because it was the president's first trip abroad, and in Saudi Arabia he planned to announce a new strategy for the Middle East to focus less on democracy and more on nation building and uniting Arab countries like Saudi Arabia and Egypt in the US-led coalition to isolate and contain Iran, our most dangerous adversary in the region. The president was set to give a major speech and open the new Global Center to combat extremism and terrorism. Leaders from 55 Muslim countries attended the meeting in Riyadh. This was the first such gathering and was a direct result of the leadership of the Trump administration. On the first day of the visit Trump also signed an investment deal with the Saudis that promised to bring $110 billion into the United States.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders: China is our adversary, not our friend

The pandemic had derailed the president's reelection strategy. From his basement bunker, Joe Biden used the crisis to attack the president. Joe Biden should have directed his attack on China, which unleashed the deadly pandemic in the world, but Biden was a friend of China. He said a rising China is a positive development.

He initially opposed Pres. Trump's China travel ban that saved many American lives. Biden just didn't get it. China was our adversary, not our friend. Either America would lead the world in the 21st century, or China would. Under Pres. Trump it would always be America first. Could the same be said for a President Biden?

Until the pandemic hit America had never been stronger. African American and Hispanic unemployment was at an all-time low thanks to Pres. Trump, who had done far more to empower minorities with better jobs, higher wages, and a better hope for the future than Biden ever had. President Trump rebuilt our economy before. He could be trusted to do it again.
