WASHINGTON: President Donald Trump suggested Monday that the United States would retaliate “soon” after its embassy in the Saudi capital Riyadh was struck by two suspected Iranian drones.
Speaking to the NewsNation network, Trump said “you’ll find out soon” how the United States would respond, without providing further detail, after the US embassy confirmed a drone attack that caused “a limited fire and minor material damage.”
After the attack, the embassy issued a shelter in place notification for US citizens in Jeddah, Riyadh and Dhahran.
