WASHINGTON — US President Joe Biden says he’s decided how to respond to a drone attack that killed US service members in Jordan, but doesn’t elaborate.
Biden, speaking to reporters as he left the White House on a campaign trip to Florida, also says the United States does not need a wider war in the Middle East.
“I do hold them responsible, in the sense that they’re supplying the weapons to the people who did it,” he adds when asked if Iran is to blame for the attack.
