'Maybe we shouldn't even be there': Trump draws backlash for comment on Iran war

Critics accused him of starting an unnecessary war then demanding others step in to help him end it. Australia, France and Japan are among the countries that have said they have no plans to send warships. #trump #iran #straitofhormuz #donaldtrump #iranwar #usa #israel #middleeast
