Asked yesterday whether the White House would block the brothers’ extradition, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt was terse: “No. But Donald Trump’s Defense Department has tried to erase these four service members from its official list of Iran war casualties. And the administration does have a particular interest in pretending these latest deaths aren’t somehow part of the Iran war. Whatever the reason, the White House insists—for now—that Trump’s eleventh-hour concern is official U.S. policy. What U.S. negotiators said until now matters little, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters yesterday: Trump alone is the “final dealmaker.”
