President Donald Trump took a break from golfing Saturday evening to speak on the record for the first time about the deaths of two soldiers after an Iranian missile strike on a base in Jordan Friday.

NewsNation correspondent Hannah Brandt said she had called Trump especially to ask him about the soldiers, who were killed in action while defending against an Iranian ballistic missile and drone attack.

A third soldier is also missing.

“It’s a very sad thing.

We hate to see it happen,” the president told her, before quickly pivoting to his favorite Iran talking point. “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.’”
