President Donald Trump froze at the controls.
After ordering up airstrikes on Iran in retaliation for the downing of an unmanned American drone, the commander in chief balked at the last minute Thursday.
“Nothing was green-lighted until the very end because things change,” the president told NBC’s Chuck Todd in an interview that will air on “Meet the Press” on Sunday, pointing to the expected casualty count as his reason.
“I thought about it for a second and I said, you know what, they shot down an unmanned drone, plane, whatever you want to call it, and here we are sitting with 150 dead people that would have taken place probably within a half an hour after I said go ahead. … I didn’t think it was proportionate.”
