Trump says US ordered 25 B-2 bombers
US President Donald Trump said Washington has ordered 25 new B-2 stealth bombers, arguing that under his administration the United States has regained global respect following US strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites in June.
“The bottom line is that we are respected again like never before,” Trump said on The Dan Bongino Show. “And they saw what happened in Iran… with those beautiful B-2 bombers. We just ordered 25 more of them. Even the newer upgraded version, you got to see these things. They’re invisible.”
Trump also cited the US killings of Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and IRGC Quds force commander Qassem Soleimani during his first term.
“I got Soleimani. I got al-Baghdadi in my first term, two of the worst, the worst ever,” Trump said. “One was the founder of ISIS. He was rebuilding it. I took him out.”
Trump suggested that the killing of Soleimani made the June strike on Iran possible.
“If he lived, that attack that we made on Iran would not have been the same thing,” Trump said. “He was a great general. And they don’t have that now.”
