Trump on Counterterrorism Chief's Resignation: 'Good He Left'

Donald Trump commented on the resignation of Joseph Kent as director of the US National Counterterrorism Center, stating that 'it's good he left'. Kent's resignation was attributed to his disagreements with the Trump administration's policy regarding the threat posed by Iran. Trump insisted that Iran posed a significant threat and criticized Kent for his view that it did not. He reiterated that his administration does not want people in its team who do not agree with this assessment.
