But that’s certainly not something we’re planning on,” he added. Sounds good, but Trump just recently said this: > “Australia is making a terrible humanitarian mistake by allowing the Iran National Woman’s Soccer team to be forced back to Iran, where they will most likely be killed. Don’t do it, Mr. Prime Minister, give ASYLUM. The U.S. will take them if you won’t,” he wrote. I guess we'll see what his ((( handlers ))) tell him to do...
