In comments reported today, US President Donald Trump downplays Iran’s recent downing of a US military helicopter near the Strait of Hormuz, telling The Wall Street Journal in a phone interview that it “wasn’t a big deal” and that “the pilot is fine.”
The report doesn’t specify whether Trump made the comments before or after he declared on social media that the US “must” respond to the helicopter downing.
It is the latest example in which Trump has appeared to take contradictory stances in one of his many phone interviews with journalists and in a Truth Social post published on the same day. (Ed note: What can the President possibly mean by saying, "wasn't a big deal?") (Source)
