WASHINGTON – President Trump suggested Thursday that he wasn’t gunning for a military conflict with Iran..
“I hope not,” the president responded when asked by a reporter outside the White House if the U. S. was going to war with Iran.
That answer echoed what he told his acting Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan in a meeting Wednesday, according to the New York Times.
Despite saying he would “absolutely” send ground troops to the region if necessary, Trump has softened his talk on open conflict in recent days.
