During a White House press briefing, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt faced tough questions regarding President Trump's proposal to take control of the Gaza Strip. A conservative reporter questioned the potential risk to American lives in this endeavor. Leavitt emphasized that Trump had not committed to deploying Marines or any military presence in Gaza. Trump elaborated his vision, stating the U.S. would take ownership of the region and oversee its development, including the removal of unexploded weapons and debris, while maintaining that military action would be assessed as necessary.
I'm not sure why you're asking me that question, because I've already said that the president has not committed to sending Marines or any boots on the ground in Gaza.
We'll own it [Gaza] and be responsible for dismantling all of the dangerous unexploded bombs and other weapons on the site, level the site and get rid of the destroyed buildings.
As far as Gaza is concerned, we'll do what is necessary. If it's necessary, we'll do that. We're going to take over that piece that we're going to develop it.
