‘Closer To A Third World War Than Ever Before’: Hundreds Of National Security Officials Endorse Trump

By The Daily Caller

Hundreds of national security and foreign policy leaders endorsed former President Donald Trump on Wednesday, contrasting his foreign policy with the failures of the Biden-Harris administration.

National security officials, former ambassadors, retired military officials and families of service members killed during President Joe Biden’s Afghanistan withdrawal signed the letter, which was obtained by Capitalist Notes. The endorsement referenced Trump’s “[focus] on restoring peace” and the escalation of global conflicts as reasons to support the former president.

The officials urged Americans to vote for Trump, citing his record of diplomacy and support of a strong military. The letter characterized the Biden-Harris administration’s foreign policy as “repeated failures” and warned that “we are closer to a third world war than ever before.”

“By contrast, the Presidency of Donald Trump focused on restoring peace throughout the world,” the letter stated. “This was supported by a strong American military and resolute international diplomacy.”

25 cabinet and equivalent officials signed the letter, including former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, and former Acting Secretary of Homeland Security Chad Wolf.

11 Gold Star family members of the troops killed at Abbey Gate also signed the letter. The Biden administration’s disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan led to the deaths of 13 service members and around 170 civilians, the Daily Caller News Foundation reported.

“The botched withdrawal from Afghanistan under the Biden-Harris Administration in 2021, led to the unnecessary deaths of thirteen brave American troops at Abbey Gate and left untold billions of dollars of high grade military equipment to the Taliban, making it the most well-armed terror organization in the world,” the letter read.

Hundreds of senior national security and foreign policy professionals also signed the letter, including former Republican South Carolina Rep. Trey Gowdy, former Deputy Director of National Intelligence Kash Patel and former U.S. Border Patrol Chief Rodney S. Scott.

The letter repeatedly emphasized Trump’s diplomacy, stating that “securing peace is in the greatest tradition of American foreign policy and the Judeo-Christian principles upon which our nation was founded.”

Members of National Security Leaders For America (NSL4A), including former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and former CIA Director John Brennan, recently endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris.
