A very easy military operation in Iran? That's strange. No, no, we'd rather not get involved. President Trump says he also wants to see South Korea chip in more to defray the cost of keeping tens of thousands of U.S. troops and Air Force fighter squadrons and combat-coated aircraft there. The president was also asked the following question, Martha. Why hasn't Kim Jong-un responded to your request to have a conversation? How do you know he hasn't responded? Has he? Yeah, yes. THE PRESIDENT DID NOT ELABORATE AND PROVIDE MORE DETAILS. MARTHA? ALL RIGHT. LUCAS, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. LUCAS TOMLINSON REPORTING FROM THE WHITE HOUSE.
