Newsday

Available for 26 days

A statement said that what Mr Trump called Project Freedom, would involve fifteen thousand US service members, guided- missile destroyers and more than a hundred aircraft. The US leader has also been commenting on the diplomacy between the US and Iran, saying there were positive discussions going on, which could lead to something good for all. There's currently a ceasefire in place between Iran and the US. The same is supposed to exist between Israel and Lebanon, but on the ground the killing is continuing. We'll speak to an emergency doctor in Lebanon. (Photo: U.S. President Donald Trump speaks to the media before boarding Air Force One for departure to Miami, Florida; Credit: Nathan Howard/Reuters)
