US President Donald Trump has said in an interview with Fox News that the only sphere where he wants to “invade” is actually economy, thereby downplaying fears of a conflict with Iran amid rising tensions between the two countries.
During the Sunday interview, Trump was asked to comment on Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham’s summary of their talks in January, when the two allegedly discussed the possibility of using military force in Venezuela. According to Graham, he warned Trump against such a move, while Trump allegedly surprisingly said: “You want to invade everywhere except where I want to invade.” The interviewer asked Trump to specify places where he wanted to invade.
Commenting on Iran, he reiterated that he did not seek a war with Tehran, noting that the main thing he wanted was “not let Iran have nuclear weapons.”
