Bedminster, NJ — In a new video, President Donald J. Trump slammed Joe Biden's disgraceful decision to pay a $6 billion ransom to the Iranian dictatorship in exchange for hostages.

 

"Under my leadership, we brought home more than 50 hostages from all over the world and we never paid ransom money to do it," President Trump said. "We did it with diplomacy and we did it through strength and we will do it again when we are re-elected as President of the United States."

TRANSCRIPT

 

Crooked Joe Biden just agreed to pay a $6 billion ransom to the Iranian dictatorship in exchange for hostages. This is yet another Biden surrender and a further blistering humiliation of the United States of America to the world stage. But even worse, this decision will be extremely deadly.

 

Biden is giving $6 billion to the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism. Just as when Obama sent the Iranian regime pallets of cash for hostages in the dark of night. Remember, plane loads of cash. Biden's ransom payment will be immediately used to stoke violence, bloodshed, and mayhem throughout the Middle East, and all around the world costing countless innocent lives.

 

It's also guaranteed that the fanatical Iranian regime will use this money to advance their nuclear weapons program putting Israel, the United States, and the entire world in very grave peril. They are reportedly just weeks away from a nuclear bomb something which would have never happened under the Trump administration. Tragically, Biden's ransom payments also make it dramatically more likely that even more Americans will be held captive in the future.

 

Because Biden has shown that he will pay gargantuan sums of money, meaning the kidnappers turn a massive profit, they're making money hand over fist. In other words, Biden has put a bounty on the head of every American citizen abroad.

 

Under my leadership, we brought home more than 50 hostages from all over the world and we never paid ransom money to do it. Not at all. We did it with diplomacy and we did it through strength and we will do it again when we are re-elected as President of the United States. Our country is failing. We are a failing nation. We will turn it around and we will Make America Great Again.

 

Thank you
