Golden Finance reports that on June 7, according to NBC News, Trump said that even if he believes Iran’s defensive and offensive capabilities have been severely weakened and the temporary ceasefire agreement is fragile and is often violated, there are currently no plans to withdraw U.S. troops from the Middle East. “We have completely destroyed their military strength,” he said. “They still have some missiles and drones.” He also added that he believes Iran only has “21% to 22%” of its pre-war missile stockpiles left. However, this does not mean that the 50,000 U.S. troops deployed to the region will soon return home. Trump said, “Leaving them there costs very little.” He later added, “I think doing that (withdrawing U.S. troops) is foolish, because we might be able to use the presence of U.S. troops” to pressure Iran into making concessions at the negotiating table.
