400 officials endorse Trump, say US closer to World War III under Biden-Harris

More than 400 national security and foreign policy officials, ex-cabinet members, retired military officers, and Gold Star families have endorsed Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, 78. In an open letter, the signatories criticised the Biden-Harris administration’s foreign policy. The signatories in the letter referred to Donald Trump as a “peacemaker”.
The letter, organised by former National Security Adviser Robert O’Brien and former NSC Chief of Staff Alex Gray, highlights what the signatories describe as “repeated failures” of the Joe Biden-Kamala Harris administration’s foreign policy, arguing that the nation is closer to a third world war. The letter also urged American voters to elect Donald Trump over Kamala Harris, the Democratic presidential candidate, reported Fox News.
“From a world at peace under President Trump, we are now closer to a third world war than ever before under the Biden-Harris Administration,” the letter states. “With multiple escalating wars around the world, an open border that allows terrorists to flood into the American homeland, and malign actors like China operating unabated, US national security has been profoundly damaged by the failed policies of Kamala Harris and Joe Biden.”
The letter was endorsed by prominent officials from the Trump administration, including ex-Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and former Attorney General Bill Barr. Nikki Haley, a former presidential candidate against Trump, also signed the letter.
Additionally, 11 family members of the 13 American troops killed at Abbey Gate at Kabul’s airport during the 2021 US withdrawal from Afghanistan also signed the letter, along with 40 retired US ambassadors, 75 retired senior military officers, and several hundred officials, praising Trump’s efforts to broker a ceasefire between Turkey and Kurdish fighters in Syria and the Abraham Accords, according to Fox News.
“When President Trump took office, the war in Afghanistan had dragged on for almost 16 years. By February 2020, a peace agreement was reached, ensuring no American soldier was killed in combat until the end of the Trump Administration. This agreement held strong because the Taliban understood President Trump’s resolve and U.S. forces were prepared to ensure their compliance,” the letter reads.
Another signatory, Jerry Hendrix, former director of the Secretary of the Navy’s advisory panel, also attached his name to the letter of endorsement.
