President Donald Trump said Monday that the United States was "scammed" in an effort to get weapons to people in Iran who, he said, were supposed to use them to fight the country's government. Speaking during the White House Easter Egg Roll on April 6, Trump claimed the arms never reached the intended recipients because the group that received them kept the weapons instead.
Trump made the remarks as he also hardened his deadline for Iran to accept a deal, while The Wall Street Journal reported that he said, "We sent guns, a lot of guns," and complained that those weapons were not passed on.
