World‘Small potatoes’: US President Trump downplays war on Iran

Despite a recent exchange of fire with Iran, Donald Trump says the US is “not fighting right now” and calls the seven-month conflict “small potatoes”. The war has killed 18 US service members and driven up energy prices. The report says the language may be intended to minimise its impact, while Trump leaves open a possible strike on Iran’s Pickaxe Mountain.
