Trump also criticised the Biden administration for not acting sooner, stating that the military had been tracking the ISIS attack planner for years.

“Our military has targeted this ISIS attack planner for years, but Biden and his cronies wouldn’t act quickly enough to get the job done. I did! The message to ISIS and all others who would attack Americans is that ‘WE WILL FIND YOU, AND WE WILL KILL YOU!'” he warned.
