The news on North Korea and President Donald Trump's move to drop the Iran nuclear deal has marked a "huge, great week" for foreign policy, NRA Spokesperson Dana Loesch said Thursday.
"We have an administration that has some strength," Loesch told Fox News' "Fox and Friends." We have an administration that follows through on its promises, and that is exactly what we're seeing here. We also have an administration that understands the process of getting things done in our constitutional republic."
She also termed the return of three American prisoners from North Korea to American soil as "fantastic."
"This is the type of winning people have been wanting to see in foreign policy for some time," said Loesch. "The New York TImes wasted no time in attacking the president. I was talking about this president. It feels as though the president could cure cancer and legacy media could find something over which to attack him."
The New York Times earlier this week criticized Secretary of State Mike Pompeo for not being in Washington at the time President Donald Trump was announcing his decision on the Iran nuclear deal, but as it turns out, Pompeo was securing the prisoners' release.
"Mike Pompeo bringing back three Americans, who have been held prisoner in North Korea, that's pretty significant," she said. "It seems that The New York Times at least needs to modify their article to note this, instead of using this separation as some sort of cudgel to undermine the administration.
Mike Pompeo was acting on behalf of the president."
Trump will score another victory on Monday, when the U.S. Embassy in Israel opens its doors in Jerusalem, fulfilling a promise several other presidents have made but never kept, noted Loesch.
"Every previous president always kicked the can down the road where it concerned moving the embassy and the president has accomplished that on Monday," said Loesch.
