Leavitt Says “There Is Nothing More America First Than Taking Out Ter*orists”

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said there is “nothing more America First than taking out ter*orists” as she defended President Donald Trump’s military campaign targeting Iran and allied militant groups. Speaking during a White House briefing, Leavitt argued that eliminating ter*orist threats protects American lives and strengthens U.S. national security. Leavitt said the administration believes removing militant leaders and weakening hostile networks makes both the United States and the broader world safer. Her remarks come as the Trump administration continues military operations in the region and faces growing debate in Washington over the scale and goals of the campaign.
