WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - Former US President Donald Trump said that if he became the president again, the relationship between Israel and the United States would be even stronger than ever before.
"If and when I'm President of the United States, it will, once again, be stronger and closer than it ever was before," Trump said on Monday evening during an event in Florida.
Trump added that he was committed to protecting the Jewish state and American Jewish communities, pledging to prevent threats against Israel and support its fight against terrorism.
During the Presidential debate between Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, both candidates attempted to position themselves as the more pro-Israel candidate.
"She hates Israel. If she's president, I believe Israel will not exist within two years from now," Trump said of his opponent.
"That's absolutely not true," replied Harris, who is married to a Jewish man. "I have my entire career and life supported Israel and the Israeli people."
