YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

President Biden has spoken with the families of the three US soldiers killed in Jordan and will be at Dover Air Force Base when their bodies are returned home, the White House said Tuesday — as reports suggested the president may be planning retaliatory airstrikes on Iranian targets in the Persian Gulf in the next few days. NY Post reporter Melissas Koenig shares this story.

The administration sparked outrage Monday when National Security Council spokesman John Kirby was asked whether Biden would attend the “dignified body transfer’’ of the fallen Army heroes and replied that he didn’t “have anything on [the president’s] schedule to speak to.”

Kirby then told reporters Tuesday that Biden would in fact be there when the bodies of Sgt. William Rivers, 46, Spc. Brianna Moffatt, 23, and Spc. Kennedy Ladon Sanders, 24, all from Georgia, are to be flown Friday to the air base in the president’s home state of Delaware.

“The president had an opportunity this morning to speak with the family members of the three service members who were tragically killed in this attack. He was grateful for their time,’’ Kirby said Tuesday.

“He expressed to them how proud we all are of their service, how we mourn and feel the sorrow over their loss and made sure that those families knew that not only was that service and sacrifice are going to be honored and respected but that they would continue to get the support that they need as they work through what no family wants to have to go [through].
