The sanctions, Trump said, are a response to 'a series of aggressive actions,' including a drone shoot-down.

President Trump signs"hard-hitting" sanctions on Iran's supreme leader as Vice President Mike Pence, right, and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin look on at the White House on Monday.

The sanctions, Trump said, are a response to"a series of aggressive actions," including the drone strike. The measures aim to restrict the supreme leader's"access to key financial resources and support," said Trump, noting that the leader is"responsible" for Iran's hostile conduct. Trump opted not to respond militarily to the drone strike last week, canceling a planned missile strike at the last minute.

Can the US be sanctioned for “stupid actions”? Please, anybody!

So Trump says he’s gonna completely eliminate Iran (on his Twitter). We fly a drone near them (meaning: to them, this thing is harvesting info to lead to the death of them), so they naturally want to self-preserve and go shoot it down. And now it’s somehow their fault.

Wealthy sociopaths will be the demise of this planet

Sending a spy drone in foreign airspace is 'hugging' ?

He has dementia. He doesn't know what he's talking about. Ever.

Trump: ‘Hard To Believe’ Iran Drone Downing ‘Intentional’President Trump called Iran's shooting down a U.S. military drone a 'big mistake', suggesting the downing was mistakenly authorized Oil, dropping and rising at actions, usually indicates, a warpath problem in resource nabbing. The old world with leaders and business deals gone sour to ignite wars in power positions, sending people to die for higher percentage? Trump should also admit that America is no more same.. everyone is kicking US butt, from China to Korea, Iran to Syria, Cube to Venezuela and more. Trump is national shame Drone shoot down mistakenly shot down. So that’s a convenient off ramp for Iran. It doesn’t appear that the administration really has any coherent policy. Swap out trump for Obama and I wonder what the presidents comment would be. ?

Mike Pence says Trump administration not sure if Iran leadership authorized shooting down of U.S. drone'We're not convinced that it was authorized at the highest levels,' said the vice president. It was violating Iranian airspace, of course they authorized it to be shot down. If Iran flew a drone over American airspace we'd do the same. Is Mike Pence right? Could a 400-pound couch potato have authorized shooting down of U.S. drone? Maybe it shot itself down 😂🤣
