US President Donald Trump, on Saturday, attended the return of the bodies of the first six US soldiers killed during the escalating war with Iran.

Trump saluted as troops carried each flag-draped case from a military transport plane at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware, where the remains of US troops killed overseas are returned to American soil. The troops were killed last Sunday when a drone struck a key US command center in Kuwait, a day after the United States and Israel launched a sweeping military campaign against Iran.
