In a significant development, the Trump administration's counterterrorism efforts have resulted in the elimination of 74 terrorists from groups actively plotting against the United States, as disclosed by National Security Adviser Mike Waltz on Tuesday.
Waltz highlighted the decisive actions taken by President Trump, emphasizing the airstrikes and other operations ordered since his return to the White House. "President Trump has eliminated 74 named terrorist leaders that the Biden administration wasn't going after," Waltz stated, underscoring the ongoing threat these groups pose to the U.S. and Western interests.
According to The Washington Free Beacon, Waltz confirmed that these targeted groups, including ISIS, al-Qaeda, and Al-Shabab, have concrete plans to attack the U.S. homeland. He criticized the previous administration, pointing out, "And if you look under the Biden administration, with a wide-open border, that was incredibly dangerous." The figures provided by Waltz were corroborated by military and intelligence officers, as reported by Just the News.
This renewed offensive is a continuation of President Trump's first-term counterterrorism strategy, which notably included the 2020 airstrike that took out top Iranian terrorist Qassem Soleimani. This approach contrasts sharply with the policies of former president Joe Biden, whose administration remained silent on Soleimani's assassination and saw unprecedented surges in illegal immigration, including individuals on the terrorist watchlist. Waltz also highlighted President Trump's success in securing the release of 45 American hostages from hostile regimes and terrorist groups, describing it as "an incredible achievement in just a couple of months."
Waltz expressed confidence in the administration's efforts, stating, "Americans should sleep better at night. We're only three months in, and look at the results President Trump is getting. The mainstream media doesn't want to talk about those." This statement reflects a broader sentiment of reassurance and accomplishment under President Trump's leadership.
