Donald Trump used opening remarks at a Kennedy Center board meeting in Washington on Monday, March 16, to claim he had predicted the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks and to warn allied countries they would need to protect 'their own territory' amid the conflict with Iran described in OK!.
For context, the latest remarks came as Trump faced resistance from some partners over his call for foreign naval support in the Strait of Hormuz, a vital shipping route that the source article says has been rendered unsafe by counterstrikes. Nothing in the material provided independently verifies Trump's claim that he foresaw 9/11, so that assertion should be treated with caution and understood as his account of events rather than an established fact.
