President Donald Trump has ordered dozens of strikes where terrorist leaders have been confirmed to be during his first few weeks in office, and those missions have taken out at least 74 threats to America, according to a report.
Already.
It was National Security Adviser Mike Waltz who told Just the News during an interview of the success the administration has had so far in killing terror organization leaders plotting to strike Western assets and the U.S. homeland.
"I can tell you, from ISIS to al-Qaida, to groups like Al-Shabaab, all have plots and plans to hit the homeland once again, and if you look under the Biden administration, with a wide-open border, that was incredibly dangerous," Waltz confirmed.
"President Trump has eliminated 74 named terrorist leaders that the Biden administration wasn't going after. You add to that 45 Americans who are being held hostage by various regimes and groups around the world that he's brought home, and that is just an incredible achievement in just a couple of months."
He said, "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."
Waltz told Just the News the strikes have reached far beyond the Houthi rebels in Yemen, who recently have garnered media attention, and have targeted organizations like al-Qaida and ISIS in the Middle East and Al-Shabaab in Africa.
The report explained, "U.S. military and intelligence officials confirmed to Just the News on Tuesday the numbers Waltz provided and offered details about some of the top targets who have been eliminated by strikes carried out by U.S. Central Command."
For example, an airstrike in Al Anbar Province, Iraq, on March 13 killed the Global ISIS #2 leader Abdallah Makki Muslih al-Rifai, also known as Abu Khadijah, who was the emir of ISIS' governing body.
And on March 2, there was a joint operation with Somalian military forces that killed three dozen leaders and fighters of Africa's Al-Shabaab, a violent Islamic terror group.
In Syria, in February, a strike killed Muhammed Yusuf Ziya Talay, a leader of an al-Qaida affiliate called Hurras al-Din.
