US President Donald Trump has said that the downing of a US Air Force jet will not affect negotiations with Tehran
In a brief phone interview with NBC News, Trump refused to discuss the specifics of ongoing search and rescue efforts in Iran after the jet was downed and “expressed frustration about some of the coverage of what is plainly an intense and sensitive military operation”.
Asked if today’s events will affect any negotiations with Iran, Trump told NBC’s Garrett Haake that they would not.
“No, not at all. No, it’s war. We’re in war, Garrett.”
