Скачать или смотреть US Ambassador shuts down NBC anchor, asserts Trump is ending the war with Iran

US Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz has argued that US President Donald Trump did not start a war with Iran but is ending it.

Waltz appeared on NBC’s ‘Meet the Press’ alongside anchor Kristen Welker, when asked if the US is at war with Iran.

The UN ambassador suggested the conflict between the US and Iran began in 1979 during former US president Jimmy Carter’s tenure.

Leading up to Waltz’s remarks, Welker played clips of Trump referring to America’s conflict with Iran as a “war”.

“As you know, words matter. Does that front administration, do you, describe this as a war against Iran?” Welker asked.

Waltz hit back at Welker’s question, claiming that Iran is “at war” with the US, but asserted that President Trump is “ending it”.
