US President Donald Trump said it was a “good thing” that counterterrorism chief Joe Kent resigned. He called Kent “very weak on security” after his exit. Kent stepped down over the US military campaign in Iran. Kent said he could not support the war. “I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran,” he wrote. He also said Iran posed no “imminent threat” to the US. Trump rejected such views. “We don’t want those people,” he said. The resignation comes as the Iran conflict enters its third week and debate grows within the administration. (PC: India Today)
