Donald Trump Shuns Press Conference, Celebrates Successful Foreign Trip with American Troops
(NAVAL AIR STATION SIGONELLA, Sicily) — President Donald Trump on Saturday said his maiden first trip abroad was a "home run" and he vowed to overcome the threat of terrorism, concluding a grueling five-stop sprint that ended with the promise of an imminent decision on the much-discussed Paris climate accord.
Trump ended his nine-day trip with a speech to U.S. troops in Sicily, where he recounted his visits to Saudi Arabia, Israel, Belgium and Italy and his work to counter terrorism. The president said recent terrorist attacks in Manchester, England and Egypt underscored the need for the U.S. to "defeat terrorism and protect civilization."
"Terrorism is a threat, bad threat to all of humanity," Trump said, standing in front of a massive American flag at Naval Air Station Sigonella. "And together we will overcome this threat. We will win."
The president recalled the terrorist attacks in Manchester and Egypt that targeted innocent women and children as well as a suicide bombing in Indonesia that killed three police officers. He said that attacks would only steel the resolve of world leaders to fight terrorism.
“Together, civilized nations will crush the terrorists, block their funding, strip them of their territory, and drive them out of this earth,” Trump said.
The president arrived on the base to a raucous crowd and shouts of “USA! USA! USA!” as the Air Force One movie soundtrack played in the background.
First lady Melania Trump introduced her husband, calling the journey an “incredible trip.”
“My husband worked very hard on behalf of our country, and I’m very proud of him,” she said.
Trump recalled his commitment to a “peace through strength” foreign policy.
“That’s what we’re gonna have. We’re gonna have a lot of strength and a lot of peace,” he said.
The president and the first lady return to Washington, DC, Saturday evening, as they plan to recognize Memorial Day on Monday.
