Sean Strickland slams Donald Trump’s Gaza proposal: "This isn’t America first!"

Former UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland, known for his brash and unfiltered nature, has slammed President Donald Trump’s Gaza proposal. For context, the U.S president recently said in a press conference that the United States will take over the Gaza Strip, and rebuild the area.

He did so after a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. On Tuesday evening, in a joint press conference with Netanyahu, Trump said:

"The U.S. will take over the Gaza Strip, and we will do a job with it, too. We'll own it and be responsible for dismantling all of the dangerous, unexploded bombs and other weapons on the site. Level the site and get rid of the destroyed buildings, level it out, create an economic development that will supply unlimited numbers of jobs and housing for the people."

Following Trump's declaration, former UFC middleweight king Sean Strickland took to X and urged the president to address domestic issues first, before getting involved abroad.

He tweeted:

"The American people want nothing to do with Gaza.. Rebuild America first.. America first... this isn't America first...."
