President Donald Trump, who is spending the weekend playing golf at his New Jersey course, made his first comments to a reporter about the two service members who were killed by Iranian missile strikes on a base in Jordan.
The president spoke to NewsNation correspondent Hannah Brandt on Saturday evening, one day after the attack.
“We hadn’t heard from the president yet about these deaths, so we decided to call him to see if he had a reaction, and that was the first thing I asked him, what his reaction was to the news of these two U.S. service members that were killed in Iranian attacks yesterday,” Brandt said at the start of her TV report .
“The president telling me he finds it ‘very sad.’ He says, ‘it’s a very sad thing. We hate to see it happen,’ but then the president told me, ‘It’s in service to our country…we’re never, they’re never going to allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon,’” Brandt continued.
She added, “And that’s a line we’ve heard from the president before. We know that is his driving force that he has repeatedly said when it comes to this war in Iran. And I quickly asked him what he thought of Iran also saying this weekend that it no longer plans to follow that Memorandum of Understanding. The president telling me, ‘I couldn’t care less.’”
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth wrote on X, “Godspeed, heroes. Their sacrifice only stiffens our resolve.”
U.S. Central Command reported earlier Saturday, “On July 17, two U.S. service members in Jordan were killed in action as U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) and partner forces defended against Iranian ballistic missile and drone attacks. Additionally, one service member is currently missing. Four American service members were medically evacuated to Jordanian hospitals. They have since been discharged. Other personnel who were evaluated for minor injuries have returned to duty.”
