Third term, small tackle against France … What must be remembered from the Donald Trump speech in Qatar

We take stock of his speaking carried out at midday this Thursday from the American base of Al-Udaid in Qatar.

Put on wars

While the negotiations between Russians and Ukrainians in Turkey already seem to turn to fiasco, and Vladimir Putin has just confirmed that he will not make the trip, American president Donald Trump said again that his priority is “to end conflicts not to start them”, during his visit to the largest American military base in the Middle East.

“But I would never hesitate to deploy the American force, if necessary to defend the United States of America or its partners,” he said before the troops in Qatar, as part of his tour in the Gulf.

Small tackle against France

Still in his perspective, for the moment upset on the Ukrainian front and in Gaza, to end conflicts, Donald recalled that the United States had always held this role of gendarme in the world. Assuring that he will “never hesitate” to use the force to defend his country and his partners, Donald Trump, who seemed to want to question this doctrine for a time, also recalled the role of the United States during the Second World War.

Evoking his good relationship with France and Emmanuel Macron, “a good guy”, Donald Trump still slipped a little tackle to his counterpart when talking about the recent commemorations of the Allies’ victory on May 8, 1945: “We did a little more than France to win the war”.

The vagueness on a third term

Donald Trump again maintained doubt about the possibility that he wants to run for a third termprohibited by the American Constitution. “I don’t know, you have to think,” said the president before the American soldiers. Affirming as usual that it was him and not Joe Biden who had won the 2020 election, won by the Democratic candidate, he said before the soldiers: “We won three elections, okay?” And some people want us to make a fourth, I don’t know. You have to think about it. ”
