PNN – “National Interest” stated that Trump’s statements should not be taken seriously, stating that his rhetoric contradicts his promises to focus on domestic issues and smacks of interventionism.
According to the report of Pakistan News Network, the research center contrasted Donald Trump’s proposal for US control of Gaza in a press conference with Benjamin Netanyahu with Trump’s campaign promises to avoid foreign interference and end endless wars. But these statements can be investigated considering Trump’s tendency to speak impromptu.
The report stated that Trump’s words have profound implications, adding that when a reporter asked Trump if the US intends to permanently occupy Gaza, he replied: I see a long-term ownership position and I think that would bring great stability to that part of the Middle East and perhaps the whole region.

“National Interest” pointed out that such an action would be logistically huge, and its financial and political costs are huge; however, the direct benefit of this work for the interests of the United States is insignificant.
This think tank emphasizes the real meaning of Trump: However, Trump should not be judged solely on the appearance of his words. As a second-term president, he has a habit of speaking without planning; this behavior was unprecedented among American presidents before 2017. Trump is also perhaps the world’s biggest political “troll” and his statements may only be designed to provoke some people. But the point is, just because Trump says he’s going to attack Gaza, don’t expect him to actually do it.
In the end, the report advised Trump that he should be more careful in choosing his words and stated: Trump was completely transparent in his election campaign; He intended to stop endless wars, focus American resources on domestic issues, and put American interests first. But the first few weeks of his presidency have raised doubts about his true intentions; the new president has commented on foreign interventions in Greenland, Panama and now Gaza. Probably, these statements are nothing but empty rhetoric. But Trump’s recent rhetoric smacks of interventionism surprisingly for someone who was elected on a promise to focus on domestic issues.
