US President Donald Trump has made a major statement regarding the ongoing military conflict between the United States and Iran. Speaking to the media at the White House after meeting Qatar’s Prime Minister, Trump said that the military conflict with Iran was almost over and that the United States was currently maintaining the existing situation.
