Republican US presidential candidate Donald Trump has spoken out in favor of an Israeli attack on Iranian nuclear facilities. When US President Joe Biden was asked about this, “the answer should have been: hit the nuclear first and worry about the rest later,” Trump said at a campaign rally in the US state of North Carolina. He was referring to Biden's response to the possibility of an Israeli attack on Iran's nuclear facilities.
Asked on Wednesday whether he would support such action by Israel, Biden said: “The answer is no. We will discuss with the Israelis what they will do.” All G7 countries are of the opinion that Israel have the right to respond to the Iranian missile attack. “But the answer should be proportionate,” said the Democratic head of state.
Trump said in response to a question from a participant at his campaign appearance in Fayetteville: “They asked him: 'What do you think about Iran, would you attack Iran?' And he says: 'As long as they don't attack the nuclear things.'” That was wrong of Biden, said the former head of state. “Isn't that what you're supposed to hit? I mean, it's the biggest risk we have, nuclear weapons.”Trump continued.
