President Donald Trump has sparked outrage by discussing the threat posed by Iran in front of schoolchildren, claiming the country was 'two weeks away' from developing a nuclear weapon that could have killed them. The comments were made on Tuesday during an event in the Oval Office to announce the revival of the Presidential Fitness Test.
President Trump was surrounded by a group of young pupils when he shifted the focus to recent US military action against Iran. He told the children that American strikes, including the deployment of a B-2 bomber, had stopped Iran from acquiring the weapon. 'Iran was two weeks away from having a nuclear weapon and killing you,' the president said, according to video footage from the event.
