Sen Chris Coons upon learning of Trump’s proposal for Gaza.
“You can report that I was speechless.”

Coons then said: “That’s insane. I can’t think of a place on earth that would welcome American troops less and where any positive outcome is less likely."

The statement by Sen. Chris Coons is a critical response to a proposal by Trump regarding Gaza. It expresses strong disapproval and skepticism about the feasibility and reception of American troops in Gaza. The tone is direct and dismissive, indicating a strong disagreement with the proposal.
