Trump says Israel 'would never' use a nuclear weapon on Iran
The president said he is not concerned about the possibility that Israel could use a nuclear weapon on Iran.
Israel wouldnt do that. Israel would never do that, Trump said.
He made the remark after being asked about comments his AI czar, David Sacks, made on the podcast All-In last week, where he said he was concerned about the conflict escalating.
Israel could get seriously destroyed, Sacks said on the podcast. And then you have to worry about Israel escalating the war by contemplating using a nuclear weapon, which would truly be catastrophic.

(60,094 posts)If Israel feels itself so cornered, and its existence so threatened that it feels using a nuclear weapon is its only chance for continued existence, the last people it will inform prior to use will be the United States. They know the extent of Trump's "loyalty." They know who will drop them like a hot potato if expedience dictates. This is not Yitzak Rabin consulting with Joe Biden. This Hot Head consulting with No Head.
