Trump also addressed the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza, saying, "we're supplying, as you know, a lot of money and a lot of food to that area because we have to, I mean, you have to. In theory we’re not involved in it, but we're involved because people are dying."

He called on other countries to also send humanitarian aid to Gaza.

"You see the the lines of people just to get one meal, essentially. But it’s too bad other countries aren't helping out," he said.
