Trump uses 9/11 memorial speech to defend war in Iran
Donald Trump used part of his speech at a 9/11 anniversary ceremony at the Pentagon to defend his administration’s ongoing war in Iran. “On days like 9/11, we learn what a country is truly made of. We’re learning right now what we’re made of,” the president said. “We’re still sending terrorists where they belong – to hell.” France 24’s Fraser Jackson and Philip Turle take a look at his remarks.
