Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump held a press conference at his New Jersey golf club on Thursday, August 15. During this 80-minute event, he attempted to connect his Democratic rival Kamala Harris with the economic record of the Biden administration. When asked a question by a reporter, Anant Singh mentioned, 'During my last meeting in July, I told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to end Israel's war in Gaza soon.'
Trump, while speaking to journalists, urged to end the war and emphasized that it must end soon but not before achieving victory. 'Claim your victory and end it. This killing must be stopped,' he said.
