In a major counterterrorism victory, former President Donald J. Trump announced that the fugitive leader of ISIS in Iraq has been eliminated. The operation was carried out in coordination with the Iraqi Government and the Kurdish Regional Government.
This announcement echoes Trump’s 2019 declaration when ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was killed, a moment he described as the terrorist dying “like a dog.”
Meanwhile, anti-ICE and pro-Palestinian protesters gathered outside Trump Tower, underscoring ongoing political tensions. Trump emphasized that the world is safer with ISIS leadership dismantled and reaffirmed his commitment to national security.
