‘We wiped out everything’: Trump on Iran strikes at Air Force One event

Summary

US President Donald Trump says the US has “had a lot of victories”, during a speech at a ceremony to mark the unveiling of a new Air Force One gifted by Qatar as a replacement aircraft for ferrying US presidents. “You’re going to see oil drop so low, I hope the companies are happy about it,” he said. Trump made a near-identical claim in a separate interview with Axios published this week, when asked what he had learned about the limits of his power following the Iran war. At the G7 summit in France this week, he said Iran should be allowed to keep “some” missiles “because other people have some,” and that “missiles aren’t the problem” since “they don’t blow up the planet.” The Express Global Desk at indianexpress.com which delivers authoritative, verified, and context-driven coverage of key international developments shaping global politics, policy, and migration trends.
