Newly elected President Donald Trump, who campaigned on not starting any “new wars,” appeared to break his promise on Saturday when he announced on X that he had ordered bombings in Somalia.
“This morning I ordered precision Military air strikes on the Senior ISIS Attack Planner and other terrorists he recruited and led in Somalia,” Trump stated during the address. “We discovered these killers hiding in caves, and they posed a threat to the United States and our allies.
The strikes destroyed the caves where they live and killed many terrorists while causing no harm to civilians,” he added.
His announcement was not complete without a jab at Joe Biden, whom Trump claims “wouldn’t act quickly enough to get the job done.”
“The message to ISIS and all others who would attack Americans is that ‘WE WILL FIND YOU, AND WE WILL KILL YOU!'” Trump concluded his message. Underneath his post, Trump supporters praised the strikes.
