Trump denounces Iran crackdown, cagey on troop deployment
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleUS President Donald Trump refuses to say if the US will be sending troops to the Middle East amid reports of a new threat from Iran.
“There might be a threat and if there is a threat, it will be met very strongly. But we’ll be announcing whatever we may be doing – may or may not be doing,” he says.
He also denounces Iran’s crackdown on protesters as “brutal” and “horrible.”
“They’re killing protesters,” he says in a meeting with representatives from the UN Security Council, urging that something be done. “They’re killing a lot of people.”
