Trump on lack of Middle East evacuation plan‘It happened all very quickly’
"President Trump on Tuesday said there was no evacuation plan for Americans in the Middle East because the joint strikes launched on Iran by the U.S. and Israel “happened all very quickly.”
“We thought and I thought, maybe more so than most, I could ask [Secretary of State Marco Rubio], but I thought we were going to have a situation where we were going to be attacked,” the president told reporters, when asked about the situation.
