Trump defends his decision to kill Soleimani in an election rally

US President Donald Trump made the killing of Iranian General Qassem Soleimani a topic in his re-election campaign on Thursday, raising the cheers of thousands at a rally when he said the move saved lives and achieved "American justice."

During the electoral rally in Toledo, Ohio, Trump devoted a long portion of his speech to defending his order to kill Soleimani, and rejected criticism from Democrats who say he overstepped his powers by ordering a strike plane to kill Soleimani at Baghdad airport.

He accused US President Soleimani of organizing violent protests by Iranian-backed groups at the US embassy in Baghdad earlier this month. Trump, who often expresses his support for the US military, said that if he did not send American forces to protect the embassy, ​​then the demonstrators might have stormed the embassy and killed Americans or held them hostage, as happened when a US diplomatic mission stormed in 2011 in the Libyan city of Benghazi, killing the American ambassador.

"Soleimani was vigorously planning new attacks, and he was looking very seriously at our embassies, not just the embassy in Baghdad, but we stopped him and stopped him quickly," Trump said. Toledo, Ohio Reuters
