Trump Retreats From Public Eye After Iran Strikes
After a U.S. military attack on Iran, President Trump keeps a low profile, staying out of public view in Florida as the situation escalates. What is the White House's strategy amidst rising tensions?
President Donald Trump has largely avoided public appearances in the days since the U.S. launched a military strike that killed a top Iranian general, as the White House grapples with the fallout from the dramatic escalation of tensions with Tehran.
Trump has made no public statements since the drone strike that killed Qassem Soleimani, the powerful commander of Iran's elite Quds Force, in Baghdad on January 3. The president has remained out of sight at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, aside from a brief appearance at a holiday party there on January 4.
