Trump, shown highlights of successful Predator drone strikes during his first visit to CIA headquarters a day after he was inaugurated, noticed in one video that a group of militants had spread out right before an attack. “Can they hear the bombs coming? We should make the bombs silent so they can’t get away,” he told officials, according to an excerpt of "The Apprentice: Trump, Russia and the Subversion of American Democracy” published by The Washington Post on Wednesday. Its author, Greg Miller, is a national security correspondent for the newspaper. The forthcoming book says that Trump appeared unenthused when the CIA’s head of drone operations described how the agency had developed special bombs to limit civilian casualties. When he was shown a strike during which the CIA did not fire until the target was away from a compound with other people inside, Trump asked, “Why did you wait?” In addition, Trump appeared puzzled by the CIA’s restraint in use of its drones, which it uses for surveillance flights over Syria. At the time, only the military conducted lethal strikes, as part of an Obama-era policy. https://thehill.com/policy/defense/407481-new-book-trump-told-cia-we-should-make-the-bombs-silent-so-they-cant-get-away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
