YouTube Description
as posted by the channelPresident Donald Trump said he’s “not at all” concerned that his repeated threats to attack civilian infrastructure such as power plants in Iran could amount to war crimes.
“I hope I don't have to do it,” Trump said, responding to a reporter in a Monday news conference. “If you think I'm going to allow [Iran], and powerful and rich, to have a nuclear weapon, you can tell your friends at The New York Times – not going to happen.”
The New York Times reporter reiterated that if the president carried out the threats to attack Iran’s power plants and bridges, including an expletive-filled social media post on Easter Sunday, it could violate international law. Trump responded by attacking the national newspaper’s credibility.
