Trump departs for Delaware base to honor troops killed in Iran war
US President Donald Trump left Florida for Dover Air Force base in Delaware to attend the dignified transfer of six American service members killed in the war with Iran.
The remains of the soldiers are expected to arrive at the base at around 1:30 pm local time.
Earlier in the day, he described the deaths as a "very sad situation."
The president said he plans to "greet the families of the heroes coming home from Iran and coming home in a different manner than they thought they'd be coming home."
"They're great heroes in our country, and we're going to keep it that way," he added. "When it comes to war, there's always that."
