They stopped enforcing the sanctions against Iran, probably to get the oil prices lower to make up for what they were doing.
They ran to Iran to try to make a deal.
They started funding the Palestinians again right away.
And I even said...
If you're going to fund them, if that's your policy, I respect that.
Again, elections have consequences and you can take a different policy.
But what I would recommend is get some conditions, make them do some reforms, make them give property rights to people, make them do real economic investments for people.
But they just went right away.
So they were funding the Palestinians, not enforcing the sanctions, and then overall just projecting a lot of weakness in the region.
So one of the most embarrassing examples is what happened in the United Arab Emirates.
Again, an amazing, probably one of America's best allies over the last 20, 30 years.
They fought with us in Afghanistan.
They were the first Muslim country to stand up and do that after 9-11 because they didn't want it to be a war of the West against the Muslim religion.
So they joined the fight because they saw it as a fight between right and wrong.
They have rockets shot into their country from the Houthis, and they basically don't get a call from the U.S.
for 17 days.
They need their equipment that they buy from the US, which creates jobs in the US.
They need it restocked.
We don't call.
So they've severely degraded the trust that we had to rebuild with our allies.
