Be careful of new friends

THE EDITOR, Madam:

The Iranian protesters are to be congratulated on their bravery but should be warned to be cautious about planning to rely too much on President Trump.

President Trump has claimed to have stopped eight wars already, although many are doubtful about these claims. As is evident, even in just this region, solving wars by negotiation or attack is very difficult.

There is also the commitment he can make apart from sending in troops to take over, as he is also involved with Venezuela, Ukraine, Israel and their wars, but with little real success. Much of his activity, including inside his country, seems to be a means of distracting coverage from the Epstein files.

The enemy of my enemy is not always my friend.
