One recent poll found that 69% of Americans – including four in 10 Republicans – think Trump has not “clearly explained the goals of US military involvement in Iran.” The Fox News host said Trump claimed the report wasn’t true and that the stockpile had “nothing to do” with pausing strikes on Iran. “We’re fine” on weapons, Kilmeade said Trump told him, adding that the president said other Gulf nations were “not thrilled with a major attack right now.”
