Trump suggests US could retaliate soon over strike on embassy in Riyadh
President Donald Trump indicated that the United States might respond "soon" to the attack on its embassy in Riyadh and the deaths of six US military personnel due to Iranian strikes. In an interview with the US cable channel NewsNation on Monday, Trump mentioned that "you’ll find out soon" regarding the US response, although he did not give any specifics. He also stated that he did not believe that "boots on the ground [in Iran] will be necessary," as reported by NewsNation's White House correspondent.
