US President Donald Trump has stated that the countries Washington defended during the war against Iran must compensate the United States for all expenses incurred in military operations.
"Once this process is over, the countries we defended will reimburse us for all the costs we incurred in the war. Because without us, they would not exist," the US president said in an interview with CBS News' "60 Minutes" program.
Trump particularly emphasized Washington's role in ensuring Israel's security.
"Without us, Israel would not exist. Without Donald Trump, Israel would not exist," he claimed.
The US president stated that he had already communicated this demand to the countries concerned and expected the expenses to be fully reimbursed.
However, Trump did not disclose the exact amount of compensation, which countries would make the payments, or the mechanism for doing so.
