Trump says he is sending about 1,500 troops to the Middle East in a 'mostly protective role' to counter Iran

WASHINGTON—President Trump said Friday he is sending about 1,500 additional troops to the Middle East, part of a deployment sought by military officials as they move to counter what they have described as new threats from Iran and its allies.

Mr. Trump, speaking to reporters outside the White House before leaving on a trip to Japan, said the additional troops were being sent mostly for protective reasons and represented a “relatively small” deployment.

realDonaldTrump senatemajldr GOPLeader LindseyGrahamSC ChuckGrassley Should push come to shove with the Iranian regime let’s hope the U.S. military will make their end swift, overwhelming, and final. It’s time to move past these neanderthals.

Israel might be pulling his strings ugh 😑

Counter iran from what; existing? Google 'Iran surrounded by US bases' and tell me how threatend the homeland is by Iran.... trump fuc-ed up the economy and now needs distraction

Americans don't like round figure..it should be 1499.99 troops!

For robbing that does sound enough

To protect American assets

🐶wagging. Commander BoneSpurs in charge. What could go wrong?😳

1500 /000000000000 US€

I'm sending clothes to the laundry. Hey!

Americans know what he's doing.....

I'm sure

Putting more troops in harms way under pretense it’s “protective”. Obviously a ploy to re-election with some made up war, or protecting his financial self interest off shore. Dick

Should send 150000 and then give Iran the finger

So happy we don’t have such a high rate of poverty, opioid epidemic, and a failing VA. 🙄

Protective alright, he is protecting his interest there and next will be Saudi Arabia. Who is protecting our troops and their families while they protect his financial interests?

what happened to bringing the soldiers back home? this guy is a joke

*** President Trump

This number is very small, yet the media is acting like trump is moving hundreds of thousands. The fake news is already exposed so no one cares about your over exaggerations.

He should build them a wall, he keeps going on and on about how it's super safe and stuff

Trump aims to cool tensions in Middle East, but Iran is probably not ready to negotiatePresident Donald Trump appears to be paving the way for negotiations with Iran as tensions in the Middle East escalate and oil prices rise. The idea is for Iran to collapse. Unfortunately Never Trump and the Democrats have petty vendettas with the White House at a higher priority than National Security. / President Trump needs to objectively view himself as all view him in the Mid East ? Trump needs to negotiate with Bolton first.
