Esper said the U.S. government was „still getting information on what happened.“
Defense Secretary Mark Esper says that “most believe” a massive explosion in Beirut, Lebanon was “an accident” — an apparent break with President Donald Trump, who suggested it was an attack. During a discussion at the Aspen Security Forum on Wednesday, Esper said the U. S. government was “still getting information on what happened” in the capital of Lebanon. “We’re reaching out to the Lebanese government, have reached out. We’re positioning ourselves to provide them whatever assistance we can, humanitarian aid, medical supplies, you name it, to assist the people of Lebanon,” he added.
