Waltz says Trump has created ‘best chance in our lifetime’ to break Hezbollah’s grip on Lebanon

Published

U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Michael Waltz said Saturday on “My View with Lara Trump” that the Trump administration has created the “best chance in our lifetime” to break Hezbollah’s grip on Lebanon, arguing Iran and its proxies are on the defensive after a series of aggressive U.S. moves.

Waltz pointed to recent developments, including the political alignment of Lebanon under President Joseph Aoun, “who’s trying to do the right thing,” Israel’s military crackdown on Hezbollah and the first-ever direct talks between Lebanon and Israel, expressing hope for peace.

“I think we can take full advantage of [these conditions] and finally get this region back to where it was in President Trump’s first term, which is back to the peaceful Abraham Accords,” he said.

“Getting rid of Iran and its nefarious, malicious attacks all over the region, including trying to assassinate President Trump right here at home, will finally, finally allow us to focus on other places around the world and get us back to the extension of the Abraham Accords.”

The ambassador said President Donald Trump was “playing chess when the rest of the world is playing checkers,” commending his Iran strategy and dismissing concerns surrounding his rhetoric.

“I was just on the Senate this week. And, you know, critics were hand-wringing over some mean tweets and maybe an F-bomb from the president. But you know what? What do you say to a regime that is yelling ‘Death to America’ at every turn?”

“And you know what? It worked. It got them back to the table,” he said.

Still, Iran’s willingness to negotiate is unclear. Waltz said Iran’s foreign ministry is in conflict with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).

“The foreign minister says it’s [the Strait of Hormuz] is open. The IRGC says it’s closed. Regardless, it’s the U.S. Navy and President Trump as the commander-in-chief that decides what ultimately comes in and comes out. And I think the bigger picture here is that the Iranian regime cannot hold the entire world’s economy hostage,” Waltz said in a Sunday interview on “Meet the Press.”

Mamdani describes Trump relationship as ‘honest’ and ‘direct’ amid recent blowout

Published

on

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani described his relationship with President Donald Trump as “honest and direct” despite the president’s recent criticism against him.

“I would say that it’s honest, it’s direct, and it’s productive,” Mamdani said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “I’ll keep the cadence of that between the two of us. Much of that is based on the premise of privacy, but I will say is that those conversations, no matter how they happen, they returned back to one thing, one of the few things that we have in common, which is our love for New York City and how to deliver for the same city.”

When asked if he could “trust” Trump, Mamdani remarked that it’s part of conversations that “have to continue,” though he credited the president for his efforts to help release a Columbia University student, Elmina “Ellie” Aghayeva, who was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

MAMDANI GRILLED ON WHETHER HIS SOCIALISM PLATFORM WILL WORK OUTSIDE OF NEW YORK CITY

“I think we see in those decisions the worth of a relationship that is both honest and direct and looking to be productive and that honesty means acknowledging places of disagreement. When I was telling him that, I also told him, as I’ve said time and again, that I believe these ICE raids to be cruel, to be inhumane and to do nothing to serve in the stated interests that it has, which is that of public safety,” Mamdani said.

Fox News Digital reached out to the White House for comment.

Mamdani’s comments came after Trump criticized the mayor for introducing a “pied-à-terre” tax on New York City properties worth over $5 million.

“Sadly, Mayor Mamdani is DESTROYING New York! It has no chance! The United States of America should not contribute to its failure. It will only get WORSE. The TAX, TAX, TAX Policies are SO WRONG. People are fleeing. They must change their ways, AND FAST. History has proven, THIS ‘STUFF’ JUST DOESN’T WORK. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

Prior to Trump’s post, Mamdani and Trump had met with each other at least twice since Mamdani was elected in November. Reports have also suggested that the two call and text each other semi-regularly.

The two surprised commentators for previously maintaining a cordial relationship despite their different political leanings. In November, Trump similarly told the press that both he and Mamdani were motivated to help New York City.

“We have one thing in common,” Trump said. “We want this city of ours that we love to do very well. And I wanted to congratulate the mayor. He really ran an incredible race against, you know, a lot of smart people, starting with the early primaries against some very tough people, very smart people. And he beat them, and he beat them easily. And I congratulated him, and we talked about some things in very strong common, like housing and getting housing built and food and prices.”
