74 Terrorist leaders taken out since Trump returned to office
President Donald Trump has ordered air strikes and other operations during his first three months back in office that have killed 74 leaders of terrorist groups plotting to strike Western assets and the U.S. homeland, National Security Adviser Mike Waltz revealed Tuesday to Just the News.
Waltz provided the counter-terrorism casualty statistics during a wide-ranging television interview where he also addressed the outlines of an emerging peace deal between Russia and Ukraine, predicted the president’s upcoming visit to the Middle East would set the stage for the Abraham Accords 2.0 and insisted that China has blinked behind the scenes in its standoff with Trump over tariffs.
“Well, they're certainly reaching out,” Waltz, a former Army Green Beret colonel and Florida congressman, told the Just the News, No Noise television show on the Real America’s Voice network when asked about Beijing and tariff talks. “That's because what President Trump knows is that they need our markets. They want us to purchase goods. President Trump knows how to use leverage.
“At the same time, he'll have a good relationship with these heads of state. He'll have a relationship with President Xi, with leaders around the world,” he added. “He understands that you have to have that good, strong personal interaction. You can be tough. You can be tough in talks. Be tough in negotiations. President Trump is absolutely tough. I haven't seen anybody who has the kind of instincts that he has. But at the same time, we can get to a deal and get to a deal that has America first and is good for the American people.”

Waltz said the strikes have reached far beyond the Houthi rebels in Yemen that have garnered the most media attention and have also been focused on groups like al-Qaeda and ISIS in the Middle East and Al-Shabab in Africa. He confirmed such terror groups have active plans to strike the U.S. homeland, after capitalizing on the open border of the Biden years.

The Houthis have gotten the most press recently as Trump and the media have focused on those attacks. The remains of al-Qaeda and ISIS have also come under attack. It does look like any peace deal between Russia and Ukraine will result in Ukraine losing significant territory to the Russians. Trump came by his negotiating skills by building his great estate empire in New York and elsewhere.
