Official says:Trump’s meeting with his national security team in Saturday’s room has ended,
US President Donald Trump’s meeting with his national security team in the Situation Room has concluded, according to a White House official. It lasted for more than an hour.
It comes as the president weighs if the US should get further involved with the conflict between Israel and Iran. He left the Group of 7 summit in Canada a day early yesterday to return to Washington.
Some more background: Israel has asked the United States for a purely “defensive posture” amid its conflict with Iran, Israeli Ambassador to US Yechiel Leiter told CNN.
More than 30 US aerial refueling tankers have been surged to the region over the last several days to prepare for the possibility that Trump decides to order the US Air Force to help refuel Israeli fighter jets as they carry out strikes over Iran, two sources familiar with the matter told CNN.
