Trump's Claim on Bin Laden Warning and SEALs' Historic Raid

President Donald Trump emphasized the role of the US Navy SEALs in killing Osama bin Laden, while claiming he warned about bin Laden a year prior to 9/11. Trump criticized the lack of recognition for his foresight and condemned past political correctness in military strategies.

During a speech in Norfolk, Virginia, President Donald Trump highlighted the pivotal role of the US Navy SEALs in the successful raid that killed Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden. He stated, 'History will never forget' the SEALs' operation that ended with bin Laden's death.

Trump reiterated his claim of foreseeing the threat posed by bin Laden, asserting that he had warned about the terrorist leader a year before the September 11 attacks. He criticized the media for not acknowledging his insight, stating, 'fake news would never let me get away with that statement unless it was true.'

Reflecting on US military engagements, Trump also denounced the previous politically correct approach to warfare, declaring, 'Now we win. We don't want to be politically correct anymore.' He expressed confidence in the US's ability to have easily won the war in Afghanistan.
