FOX’s Chief Foreign Correspondent Trey Yingst sat down with President Trump earlier this week to discuss the escalating conflict, from the intelligence that triggered the initial intervention and his renewed threats on energy infrastructure to the looming possibility of a ground campaign in the near future.

This interview took place on Tuesday, 07/14, and originally aired on Special Report.
