WASHINGTON - US President Donald Trump on Friday said the conflict in Iran is "small potatoes" as he defended Vice President JD Vance for asserting that months of on-and-off attacks in the Middle East are not a "war."
Asked during an Oval Office exchange about Vance's comments made a day earlier, Trump said U.S. strikes on Iran are now "intermittent" and "a lot of people don't call it a war." The conflict has cost U.S. taxpayers more than $37.5 billion and left 18 U.S. service members dead.
