Washington’s Response to Controversial Remarks by Mike Huckabee

The U.S. government has recently engaged in discussions with several Arab nations to address their anger and concerns regarding statements made by Mike Huckabee the U.S. ambassador to Israel. Huckabee expressed support for Israeli sovereignty over Arab territories specifically from the Nile to the Euphrates which has sparked widespread backlash.

Sources indicate that the Trump administration clarified to Arab countries that Huckabee’s remarks were merely his personal opinion and do not reflect the official stance of the U.S. government. The ambassador’s comments have led to a surge of criticism and condemnation in recent days.
