Without me, Israel would have been eviscerated: Trump

US President Donald Trump claimed his foreign policy decisions were essential to Israel’s survival. He said, "If it weren’t for Donald Trump…Israel would've been eviscerated. If I didn’t terminate the Barack Hussein Obama deal [2015 Iran nuclear deal]…Israel wouldn't exist today." Notably, tensions between the old allies, the US and Israel, spiked following a US-brokered peace deal with Iran.
