Donald J. Trump said that United States Central Command (CENTCOM) had informed him earlier in the day that three U.S. service members were killed in action.

“As a nation, we mourn these brave Americans who gave their lives in service to our country. Even as we carry forward the mission for which they sacrificed, we are praying for the swift recovery of those who were wounded and extending our deepest love and lasting gratitude to the families of the fallen. And tragically, there may be more to come.”
