WH: Trump prefers diplomacy, but won’t rule out force

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stated on Tuesday that United States President Donald Trump prioritizes diplomacy, but is willing to use “lethal force” against Iran if necessary. Speaking to journalists, Leavit addressed various media reports circulating currently about a potential attack on Iran, saying that they are “completely untrue.” “Anyone speculating to the media, hiding behind an anonymous source, pretending to know what Trump is thinking or a decision he will make with respect to action against Iran has no idea what they’re talking about,” she stressed.
