Trump refers to Iran conflict as ‘a little excursion’

Donald Trump called the war in Iran an "excursion" that will keep the US "out of a war" during a visit to a facility in Cincinnati on Wednesday (11 March).

It comes on the same day the president declared the US has “won” the war in Iran but needs to “finish the job," claiming that the US destroyed Iran's navy and air force in a matter of hours.

As a reporter asked, "You just said it is a little excursion and often—you said it is a war. So which one is it?” the Republican replied: "Well, it's both. It's both.
