Trump leaves allies with 'whiplash' over 'ambiguous and noncommittal' G7 Iran call
Source: Raw Story · Bias: Far Left
Summary
President Donald Trump continues to escalate his threats against Iran as his war machine advances — but his actual objectives and endgame for the war remain a total mystery to U.S. allies, Axios reported, and Trump can barely even clarify those himself.The president had a video call with other leaders of the G7 countries to discuss the matter, but this call reportedly did not resolve anything."Nearly two weeks in, Trump continues to send conflicting signals about how and when the fighting ends. The confusion has left both allies and adversaries struggling to plan for what comes next," said the report. "Two sources with knowledge of the G7 call said Trump was 'ambiguous and noncommittal' — some participants left thinking he wants to end the war, others felt the complete opposite."French President Emmanuel Macron exemplified the confusion, saying, "It will be up to the president of the United States to clarify both his final objectives and the pace he intends to give to the operations."Per the report, Trump is not even sending consistent signals to his own supporters, telling them at his rally in Kentucky, "You never like to say too early you won. We won. In the first hour it was over," but also adding later, "We don't want to leave early, do we? We gotta finish the job, right?"All of this comes as Trump's moves against Iran cause a blowup in oil prices and potential economic devastation, a development that reportedly blindsided him.
