Trump receives the bodies of U.S. soldiers and promises to keep deaths “to a minimum”

Miami.- United States President Donald Trump received this Saturday the bodies of the six American soldiers who died in Kuwait due to the drone attack after promising to keep the deaths of national troops in the war against Iran to a “minimum”. The president attended the dignified transfer ceremony of the bodies at Dover Air Base in Delaware, where he saluted each of the coffins of the military personnel covered with the United States flag, the only American victims after a week of the war’s beginning. Trump stated in Miami, hours before attending the military tribute, that “it’s a very sad situation to greet the families of the heroes who are returning home from Iran in a different way than they thought they would return.” «But they are great heroes in our country and we are going to keep it that way. When it comes to war, there is always that (deaths), we are going to keep it to a minimum», he pointed out in his speech to Latin American leaders at the ‘Shield of the Americas’ summit, which he left early to attend the ceremony.

Service to the World Against Nuclear Weapons

Despite the deaths, he insisted that the United States is “providing a service, not only to the Middle East, but to the world” because it “did a favor” to the international community by preventing the Islamic Republic from obtaining nuclear weapons. The six soldiers, all belonging to the Reserve based in Des Moines, Iowa, died when a drone hit an operations center in Port Shuaiba, Kuwait, one day after the start of the joint military operation launched by the United States and Israel against Iran. The White House indicated that Trump wished to be present at the ceremony, which was not broadcast to the public, to show respect and solidarity with the families of the deceased. The leader also stated this Saturday in Miami that the United States Army has destroyed 42 ships of Iran, its navy, its air force, and its telecommunications. The first week of U.S. aggression has resulted in more than 3,000 targets attacked in Iran, according to the U.S. Army Central Command (Centcom) reported on Friday.
