Missiles fired at the U.A.E., our ally, cahn’t go unanswered; America must answer with calm strength—defend our friends and keep the sea lanes open. Let us nevah negotiate out of feah, but let us nevah feah to negotiate.

Missiles fired at our friends in the Gulf cahnnot go unanswered. America must meet such tests with calm strength—ready to defend, ready to talk—so that reason, not vengeance, prevails. “Let us nevah negotiate out of fear, but let us nevah fear to negotiate.”

Well, we don’t seek war, but if missiles are fired at the UAE—an American partner—we must answer firmly and decisively; peace is kept through strength, not silence. We’ll keep the Gulf open, protect our allies, and make clear that aggression has consequences. "Peace through strength."
