US President Donald Trump will offer brief remarks regarding the ongoing protests in Iran during a speech this afternoon in Detroit that will primarily focus on the economy, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt tells reporters.
He will then return to the White House, where he will hold a briefing with his national security team to discuss potential steps that the US could take against the regime, a White House official tells reporters separately.
Earlier today, he urged the protesters to continue taking to the streets, adding that help is on the way.
