MAR-A-LAGO, FL Regarding hostages held in the Middle East, former President Donald J. Trump issued a harsh warning on Sunday, saying in a social media post that if the hostages are not released by January 20, 2025, the date he has indicated he expects to return to the presidency, there will be hell to pay.
Trump demanded the hostages’ immediate release in a tweet on his Truth Social account, calling their captivity “violent, inhumane, and against the will of the entire world.” If the hostages were still held after his possible inauguration, he promised to take unprecedented retaliatory action against those guilty.
Trump said that passivity on the matter would not be accepted under his leadership and that those responsible would be hammered harder than anyone in the long and illustrious history of the United States of America.
Amid continued international efforts to negotiate the release of hostages held in the region, the former president made these remarks. According to statements from the State Department, the Biden administration continues to prioritize the matter, but current U.S. authorities have not publicly addressed Trump’s comments.
This post contributes to Trump’s ongoing foreign policy rhetoric as he runs for president in 2024, often drawing a comparison between his future strategy and the present administration’s.
