Eric Trump faced pointed questions from students at Auburn University regarding his father's stance on Israel and his relationship with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. During a Turning Point USA event, a student challenged Eric Trump on the former president's support for Israel, especially in light of recent military actions involving Iran and ongoing concerns about the treatment of Christians in the region. Eric Trump acknowledged his father's frustrations with both sides in the conflict but emphasized that Iran's nuclear ambitions pose a significant threat to the United States. He also stated that his father's occasional anger toward Netanyahu and other world leaders is used as a diplomatic tool to promote peace in the Middle East.
