Trump Orders Air Strikes on ISIS in Somalia

Donald Trump announced precision military air strikes targeting senior ISIS leaders in Somalia, emphasizing that the strikes successfully eliminated terrorists hiding in caves without harming civilians. In his statement, Trump asserted that these individuals posed a threat to the United States and its allies, and criticized President Biden for not acting sooner against these threats. He declared, 'The message to ISIS and all others who would attack Americans is that WE WILL FIND YOU, AND WE WILL KILL YOU!' The strikes, authorized by Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, are seen as a significant step in degrading ISIS's capabilities in the region. Trump's announcement has generated mixed reactions, reflecting on the ongoing challenges posed by ISIS globally. The military action highlights the continuing U.S. commitment to combat terrorism despite the complexities involved.
