Sir Elton spoke more generally on Trump’s peacemaking progress overseas, expressing hope that the “big war” between Israel and Palestine will be “settled” soon.
He then referred to AIDS as “another war” that is being prevented from ending because governments won’t allow medicine to get to the people who need it.
“There are crimes against millions of other people that are happening because of governments and stigma and hate,” John remarked to Variety. “It’s so frustrating when you have the medicine, you have prep, you have the antiretrovirals. We can stop the spread of AIDS, if people just got off their backsides and treated human beings in a Christian kind of way.”

During his first administration, Trump launched an initiative called Ending the HIV Epidemic in the U.S. and announced it during the 2019 State of the Union address.
“In recent years, we have made remarkable progress in the fight against HIV and AIDS. Scientific breakthroughs have brought a once-distant dream within reach,” Trump said in February 2019.
The president said the goal of the program was to eliminate the HIV epidemic in the United States within the next 10 years.
“We have made incredible strides. Incredible. Together, we will defeat AIDS in America and beyond,” he added.
