President Trump is defending the war with Iran, saying it doesn't go against his campaign promise of "no new wars." He told NBC's "Meet the Press" on Sunday that he never actually guaranteed there wouldn't be any new wars. Trump argued, "Why would I have built the strongest military in the world?" when asked about his past statements.
