Former GOP National Spokesperson Elizabeth Pipko joins Fox Across America With guest host Joe Concha to shed light on how President Trump’s two-week deadline for a final decision on whether to strike Iran is in line with his commitment to avoid getting the U.S. involved in a foreign conflict unless it is absolutely necessary.
“I think no one is doubting the fact that Donald Trump could use military action at any point against any threat that he thinks America has. But someone who is showing the kind of restraint that he is and trying desperately to come up with some kind of diplomatic solution first, I think that’s what we should be grateful for. Because the fact is President Trump not only wants to avoid American troops on the ground he wants to avoid any unnecessary innocent bloodshed. He had said that about the war in Gaza. He said that about the War in Ukraine, he doesn’t want innocent people dying ever, even if they’re not Americans. And I think that’s something that we should be so grateful for and so proud of in our leader. And the fact is, I know for a fact this man has no fear of getting involved in helping Israel, no fear of eliminating any threat to the United States of America, which is what a nuclear armed Iran would be. There’d be a giant threat not just to Israel, but to America. But he also wants to make sure that until that point, he has tried every single thing that he can, exerted every possible option that he can. So I think giving two weeks to try for a diplomatic resolution is the only answer here. Obviously, Iran and the entire world are very aware that Israel can take them out and Israel with America behind them can take them out for sure. So they know what the risk is here, and I think he knows that if they’re going to be smart, they’re probably going to come to the table to make that deal, and I think that’s what we should be grateful for. The fact that someone wants to avoid any unnecessary wars, obviously has no fear of war, if necessary, but wants to try our best to make a deal with those that want us gone. The fact is, Iran is a threat not just to Israel, but to the U.S., and he’s going to try everything that he can to keep us safe, but to also keep peace afloat in the Middle East and around the world at the same time.”
